I just called Joan at the Namakagon Vis Ctr (715-635-8346). She said she had just canoed part of the Trego to Nmkgn Wilderness Landing stretch this week and it was "fine" for loaded canoes. I guess the gage at Leonards, WI is not a good indicator of water levels from Trego to Nmkgn Wilderness Landing. Unfortunately it it the only gage on the Namekagon. Good to know for future reference.
Fri: Steaks-Martinis
Sat. am: Egg Scramble-tortillas ?
Sat. pm: Beef Stroganoff
Sun am: Pancakes-Bacon
Are we sure 2:30 is doable for the 10/9 Friday rendezvous?
If so I will confirm our shuttle service to meet us at Namekagon Trail landing.

| Hi guys, Just checked the NPS website for news on river levels, according to the gages it looks like the water is dropping. Leonard: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=dlh&gage=leow3&view=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1; Danbury: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=dlh&gage=danw3&view=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 I also looked at the blog they keep on river conditions, the most recent entry was for a stretch above from where we are planning to put in. http://www.nps.gov/sacn/planyourvisit/riverconditionblog.htm. I will call towards the end of this week to check directly with the rangers. Some rain in the forecast for this week, but it does not sound like a lot ... Talk to you soon, Christian |
