Wisconsin's Black River flows 190 miles from the pine forests of Clark County through the cranberry marshes of Jackson County to the Mississippi River at La Crosse. The upper river delivers fun Class II–III whitewater through sandstone gorges near Black River Falls; the lower river meanders through one of the world's largest cranberry-growing regions. A diverse paddling experience from whitewater to prairie marsh.
