Downstream (north) for one hour from the end of Lock Road then back.
Thursday afternoon paddle with no guests with us. 82 degrees
This trip is a section of Fox River 2 in Paddling Southern Wisconsin
Flow at Berlin gauge 04073500: 758 cfs (median for this day 700 cfs)
Itinerary: Left Madison 3:30 PM, put in 4:55, take out 7:15, back to Madison 9:15.
Put in/take out at end of Lock Road, off Huckleberry Rd. Excellent landing with concrete ramp and dock and plenty of parking but no bathrooms.
The trip: downstream for one hour, approx 2 mi. Upstream 1 hour 20 minutes. At least part of this section goes through White River Marsh State Wildlife Area. According to the map, we passed the entry of White River, but we did not identify it.
The scenery was pleasant but not as pretty as the Princeton to Lock Rd section. Water level was fine, with no grounding, no blockages, no riffles/rapids. The current is slow so paddling upstream is easy.
Wildlife: many heron, kingfishers, turtles, swallows, fly catcher, jumping fish, hawk, plover, one squirrel.
