Wisconsin River
Wisconsin River, Rhinelander
The Wisconsin River is the backbone of the state, and the river flows directly through Rhinelander, providing ample opportunity for canoeing and kayaking. A good place to put in is at the Bridge Road near McNaughton north of Rhinelander. From there, paddlers can head south! More adventurous folks can travel all the way to the Boom Lake in Rhinelander. The river is dam-controlled, so water levels remain constant throughout the year. The Wisconsin River is also a popular fishing destination.

Wisconsin River Cruises to Leave Rhinelander in September
Rhinelander will be saying goodbye to a beloved boat at the end of September.
The Wilderness Queen river boat with Wisconsin River Cruises has been sold. Owner Patty Zastrow says that moving to Michigan to join her husband has pushed her to sell the boat. Rather than moving somewhere local, it’s moving to southern Wisconsin.
Zastrow says they’ve had a good run.
"I've been with the boat for nine years. I've owned it for six, and it's just time for the next chapter in our lives," says Zastrow. "I'm very sad about it. It's a great tourist attraction for the area. We get thousands of visitors every year. It's a great way to showcase our Northwoods.
Zastrow says rides will still be available until September 28th.
The schedule for the remaining rides can be found here: http://www.wisconsinrivercruises.co

Jul 2016 • Friends. Not meant to be derogatory, but this cruise is an opportunity for those people who do not live or rent on a lake or river but would like to see miles of undeveloped shoreline. The pace is slow and quiet which keeps the shore birds near and very viewable. We love it and often take our visitors there.
