Canoeing the Sheboygan River,
Wisconsin
With headwaters a few miles east of
Fond du Lac, the same area that spawns
the Milwaukee River, it flows for
many miles through marshy lowland,
including the 14,000 acres of the
Sheboygan Marsh and Sheboygan Lake.At
Kiel however, it changes direction
and heads southeast through attractive
hill country toward Lake Michigan.
Never very wide, even in impoundments,
the Sheboygan after Kiel is generally
clear, with a gravelly bottom, riffles,
grassy banks, and mostly wooded surroundings.
Until the very end there are no designated
boat landings, but the river can be
accessed at many locations
