Portage Canal Days Paddle
June 5th was a beautiful day for the first Fox Wisconsin Heritage Paddle of 2011. A group of over 30 paddlers met at the wayside across Hwy 33 from the Fort Winnebago Surgeon’s Quarters in Portage. We had a variety of kayaks, canoes, 2 stand up paddlers and even a voyager canoe joined up on this first leg of the paddle on the Fox River.
The journey from Hwy 33 to the Portage Canal was about a mile on the winding and fairly narrow Fox River. When our group reached the Portage Canal we encountered our first of 3 portages. We were also lucky enough to enjoy a historic re-enactors battle performance at the canal.
