than elsewhere in the state. The Apple is great for family kayaking and beginners alike. The river is usually navigable throughout spring and summer, and into fall.
The Apple River is a tributary of the St. Croix River, about 70 mi. long, in northwestern Wisconsin in the United States. The St. Croix River, it is part of the Mississippi River watershed.
Willow River
This is a great little river to make a day trip on. In the spring it can be quite fast with the snowpack meltingand a typical Wisconsin run-off event. In the summer and fall it is quite mild for the most part.
The width of this river is about 50-100 feet across-though during the spring run-off the banks overflow and can get as wide as 200 yards across. There are many places to stop and rest along the way. It is common to have to portage 4-5 times in the summer/fall seasons.
