What better way to spend a fall Saturday?
On September 26, the Aldo Leopold Foundation will host a special canoe trip in partnership with Upham Woods Outdoor Learning Center, from just below the Dells Dam to the Pine Island Wildlife Area, with a tour and lunch stop at the historic Leopold Shack and Farm. We’ll start by... paddling alongside the striking sandstone formations that made the Dells famous. As we float along, we’ll transition into a very different river landscape as we enter Aldo Leopold’s “sand counties.” We’ll stop for lunch and a tour at the Leopold Shack and Farm, and then paddle a bit further to our take-out point at Pine Island, for a total of about 11 river miles. This entire stretch of river is known for abundant wildlife. We may have a chance to see cranes, eagles, turtles, great blue herons, and more. Join us for a lovely fall day of canoeing the Wisconsin River! This trip is appropriate for all ages and experience levels. Advance registration required. Limit 20 people. To sign up, contact Aldo Leopold Foundation Education Coordinator Jennifer Kobylecky at jennifer@aldoleopold.org or 608.355.0279 extension 27.
Details: Saturday, September 26th
8:00 am – 2:00 pm
Advance registration required. Cost is $40 per person, which includes all equipment rental, shuttle, tours, and lunch. If you provide your own equipment and shuttle, cost is $20 per person. Limit 20 people. Read More
