Is Floating Your Fav? Check Out These 8 Rivers in WI This Summer

I have spent many hours of my life floating and/or kayaking down the Rock and Kishwaukee Rivers during the summer. Honestly, if you don't own a boat or a pool, there is no better way to cool off on a hot summer day than to grab a tube for some relaxing float time.

I am a little embarrassed to admit that in all my years of river fun, I have never really ventured outside of the Rock or Kish, and I think now is the perfect time to expand my horizons. Since my family spends a lot of time up North during the summer, I went on a search to find cool places to go floating in Wisconsin so we can mix things up a bit this year. What I found was a great article from Travel Wisconsin that I think you will want to see if you love tubing too.

Here's 8 awesome rivers to float on according to Travel Wisconsin, AND they also include suggestions of where to stay after your fun day on the water...
