There are three sections on the Wolf River. Section 2 it’s pretty flat with a few decent drops, none above class 3.

Section 3 is normally ran from Herb’s Landing to the Wild Wolf Inn at the Gilmore’s Mistake. It has some really fun drops and Matsuno approved eddy and ferry opportunities. Class 3.

Section 4 runs through the Menominee Reservation, there is a fee payable to the tribe for access to the put in and the river. The MWA historically has used Ralph’s as the shuttle but Shotgun Eddie’s is also a good shuttle choice and allows for a few additional drops on the river.

The Wolf is 70% flat water, 30% rapid with Section 4 having most of the major drops. the short section 3 mentioned above cuts out the majority of the flat water in that section.

As the Professor pointed out the crown jewel is actually the Peshtigo near Lakewood. Beautiful river, great water, great rapids, at high water it is an epic Northern Wisconsin run.

There’s a number of lodging options there from camping, cabins, hotels. The Bear Paw and Wild Wolf Inn are closest to Section 3 and is were most of the paddlers stay while up there.

There are number of MWA friends there that would be happy to help out or paddle along, including a number of MWA Whitewater Championship winners.
