We went up it about 3/4 mile from Wisconsin. It was cool. Scoutmaster remarked he had done it a while ago and it was nice.

I'm looking at Sugar now - New Glarus to Rockton - maybe for a Veteran's Day weekend

Nola, I know Bannock has paddled it, but he's been a little scarce on the board lately. Might want to try sending him an email or posting on the General Discussion page.

I grew up near Gays Mills - the Kickapoo flows right through town - and, amazingly, have never paddled the river. Just wasn't into canoeing when I lived at home. Have to do it sometime.

Nola, I have never paddled it, but have camped, trout fished and hiked along the Kickapoo. Love the area, very beautiful and a short trip from Madison.

OMG "Corndogged again!" My all time favorite quote.

I've traveled the area many times and have seen many canoe liveries, so people beyond count have canoed it. It's a narrow, twisty river and would be great if it weren't for people.

I will paddle eternal, Kevlar and carbon.
