WI River Outings

03/08/2025

Ice is off the main river, it won't be long before the lagoon at the Boscobel landing is also clear. The phone has been ringing with reservations for the 2025 season, if you are sporting a credit from last summer, we would encourage you to nail down your dates and get them reserved. We're still a little slow at returning phone calls and emails, we're getting the last in of our sanity break before we dive back into the rental. Should you reach out, please be patient, we will get back to you! www.canoe-camping.com/rentals

Here's a current river...well, ice...report🙂 The river's up, you might notice how high it is on the rocks at the landing. Some serious ice flows, there will be no paddling for the next few days 🤣

I believe it was NBC that had a little public service announcement segment called, "Now You Know."

The Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum) is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to eastern North America, including Wisconsin. It is known for its distinctive, deeply-lobed leaves, which are green on top and silvery-white underneath, creating a shimmering effect when the wind blows. The bark is smooth and gray when young, becoming shaggy and fissured with age. Silver Maples can reach heights of 50-80 feet, and their spread can be equally wide, making them excellent shade trees. They thrive in moist, well-drained soils and are commonly found along rivers and in wetlands. However, they can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions. Silver Maples produce small, yellowish flowers in early spring, followed by winged seeds called samaras, which disperse with the wind. Their extensive root systems can be aggressive and may impact nearby structures or underground utilities. Silver maples are also known for their brittle wood, making them prone to damage from wind, ice, and heavy snow. Despite this, their resilience and adaptability make them a popular choice for landscaping and ecological restoration projects.
