Kayak trip #37 Waupaca River from Hwy. 22/54 to Harrington Rd. - 7/10/12

Had a great time on our paddle tonight on the Waupaca River. We put in at the bridge at Hwy. 22/54 east of town near Fox Valley Technical College which is downstream of the confluence with the Crystal River, so the water level was higher there than further upstream. We kayaked about an hour and a half to the bridge on Harrington Road, just past the airport. It was an easy paddle, with only a few boulders to dodge, a few fallen trees to skirt around, and only one fallen tree completely across the river, but we were able to scoot under the high end. The put-in and take-out were a bit mucky, but not terribly difficult. I'd recommend this stretch to anyone wanting a fairly easy trip.
