A couple of weeks. Yes, there is an outfitter in Boscobel and several in the area. However, about 2 or 3 years ago, they stopped transporting personal canoes/gear to upstream dropoffs. Very frustrating.

Date more specific. I could shuttle occasionally, I plan on a few camping trips to Yellowstone and Gov Dodge State Parks after July.

Does anyone know if anyone offers a shuttle/transport service on the Wisconsin river anymore where they will transport your gear and canoe upstream to the put in? I've called practically all the outfitters and none of them offer this service anymore.
I know I can be picked up at my takeout and taken back to my car. I don't like doing that because I feel rushed. I used to be able to leave my car at the take out and have myself, gear and canoe shuttled upstream to my put-in to paddle back to my car at leisure. I canoe the section between Sauk City and Boscobel. Any info?

Called Blackhawk already. Same deal. A lot of the outfitters don't get specific on their sites. Blackhawk will drive MY car to the takeout, but again won't shuttle my canoe/gear upstream to put in.
Thanks for the responses. Maybe its a new insurance issue or all the outfitters got together and said, hey lets stop offering this service.
Next stop is finding a local Uber who would be willing to strap a canoe to their roof.

When you going? Boscobel took 5 inches of rain yesterday. I'm sure the river is gonna be ugly for a while. I thought there was an outfitter in Boscobel who shuttled.
