There are two state forest campgrounds located along the river. A boundary river between Wisconsin and Michigan with long stretches of slow water and low hazard rapids. Numerous streams flow into the river, and access is available at county and forest service roads. Below Brule River Dam and at the junction where the Michigamme joins the Brule to become the Menominee, the rapid increase in current combined with huge waves can potentially swamp an open craft. Water levels fluctuate and should be checked locally.
Access is available at road crossings.
Flambeau River One of the best whitewater trips in the Midwest. The north fork provides the most stable water flow. The most traveled stretch is from Nine Mile Creek to Ladysmith. Nine Mile Creek is near Hwy 70 where the North Fork flows into the Flambeau River State Forest. There are campsites and landings along the way, so a trip can last a few hours or a week.
