This trip on the namekagon River is a mixture of moderately fast water, several good rapids, and long stretches where the current is slow. Good fishing for walleye and smallmouth bass can be found all along this stretch. A side trip can be made on bean brook for some excellent trout fishing. Even though a busy highway parallels much of the route, the river itself is quite secluded and natural.
Water levels are almost always adequate for good canoeing.
The entire trip requires about 7 hours.
