Lazy River Tubing In Wisconsin

Daniella DiRienzo | April 20, 2021

Are there any other lazy rivers in Wisconsin?

Lazy rivers in Wisconsin aren’t limited to those created by Mother Nature. There are lots of man-made lazy rivers in Wisconsin that are worth a visit. One that shouldn’t be missed is the Mayan Raging River at the Mt. Olympus Water Park and Theme Park Resort in Wisconsin Dells. A truly immersive experience, the seemingly never-ending lazy river is surrounded by tropical flora as well as Mayan masks and ruins. Great Wolf Lodge, also in Wisconsin Dells, is home to the Crooked Creek Lazy River, which offers a float that’s as leisurely as can be. Not only does the water flow at a slow pace, but the 132,000-gallon river stays at a soothing 84 degrees.

What are some other places to canoe in Wisconsin?

There are tons of places to canoe in Wisconsin. Nearly all of Wisconsin’s state parks are prime canoeing destinations; however, there’s one that stands out above the rest, and it’s Interstate State Park in St. Croix Falls. Offering one of the state’s best paddling opportunities, the park’s canoe trail runs through a basalt gorge. Big Bay State Park in La Pointe is another must-visit for paddlers. Canoes can be launched from the park’s barrier beach. From there, paddlers can explore sea caves and sandstone cliffs, or, for a longer paddle, head to Big Bay Lagoon, which is known for its calm, idyllic waters.

Which Wisconsin beaches shouldn’t be missed?

Of all the beautiful beaches in Wisconsin, Pebble Beach in Sister Bay ranks pretty high up there. Anything but typical, the beach is sand-less. Instead, it’s covered in limestone rocks. Soft and smooth, the beach’s rocky surface is perfect for sunbathing. An out-of-the-way locale only adds to the beach’s allure and practically guarantees you won’t have to fight crowds. If seclusion is what you’re looking for, you’re sure to love Julian Bay Beach. Situated on Stockton Island, reaching the beach requires a 16-mile ferry ride. Definitely worth the effort, the 1.5-mile beach is not only beautiful, but it boasts sand that barks! Yep, you read that right. When dry, the sand has a distinct audible quality, which has been likened to barking.
