Boating the river

[fishhawk1750]

Looking to take the family out to the river for some boating/sight seeing. We have never gone to the river so I am looking for some advise. We will be going during the middle of the week to avoid the masses. Any place to swim? Where is the best place to put in at?

Go to the St. Croix, cleaner, more scenic, good areas to a swim and you won't have to decontaminate after swimming.

i agree. i dont think i'd be swimmin in pool 2. there is a reason there arent any public beaches there like there are on the croix.

Sightseeing on pool 2 is best in the fall. The tree colors along the river are great. not a swimming pool.
