B Winneconne http://www.noffkeslanding.com/ The Wolf River The Wolf River was proclaimed a wild river by President Johnson. The river originates in northern Wisconsin as a creek and picks up depth and speed as it flows through Shawano and the Menominee Indian Reservation. Navigation starts at New London on the Wolf River and flows southward through Fremont, Lake Poygan, Lake Winneconne and joins the Fox River at the west end of the Lake Butte des Morts. This location connects to 175,000 acres of beautiful Wisconsin water that offers countless boat adventures, unmatched fishing expeditions (and subsequent tall tales), fearless watersport activities, tranquil cruises and memories to last a lifetime. From Fremont there is over 90 miles of navigable water ways. Enjoy access to New London, Weyauwega, Partridge Lake, Lake Poygan, Winneconne, the Fox River, Omro, Lake Butte Des Morts, and Lake Winnebago Possible Power Boater Trip Itinerary Beginning at Winneconne on the Wolf River (Continued) . Partridge Lake The Porch of Fremont Jellystone Park Resort Blue Top Resort & Campground Possible Power Boater Trip Itinerary Beginning at Winneconne on the Wolf River These are notes from a boater with a 24’ SeaRay going upstream from Partridge Lake “I’m going to review some highlights however the entire area is simply beautiful. Just about every turn has something new to discover, a sandy cove, a small tavern or campground, a fishing hotspot, a deer swimming across the river. You become immersed in nature and that is exactly why many chose to risk lower unit and propeller damage to venture into this gorgeous area of the upper Wolf River. Don’t expect to find any of these local slang terms on any official nautical map.” To help you get a clear understanding of this area I made a crude map. From Partridge Lake you head north upriver. Red Banks: www.redbanks.net/ (920) 446-2933 The first notable landmark you will pass on your right or starboard side is called Red Banks. They have docks, cabin rentals, a campground, restaurant and bar. This is in a no wake zone. I did talk to one boater that lost a propeller right in the middle of the river in front of Red Banks. This is the only bend I’m going to say avoid the middle. Hug he outer or inner part of the river keeping your lower unit up and go slow. We went around the outside going upriver and inside coming back and did not hit on either side. A short run upriver past Red Banks you will come to a T in the river. Looking at the letter T you are coming from the bottom up. This area is another no wake zone. There is a sign on the north shore that says Pine Grove and an arrow to the right. Pine Grove: We went to the right or starboard towards Pine Grove with our lower unit up as far as we could. Just past the first no wake buoy into the channel I felt that unmistakable stern raise and drop as the skeg of the lower unit went over a submerged log. I turned around and went back out so I am unable to tell you any additional information on this channel to Pine Grove.” Notes from a boater with a 24’ SeaRay going upstream from Partridge Lake (Continued) “Continuing upstream: At this T in the river on the south west shore is a small sand beach area if you are ready for a rest. It’s not very deep and Little Nipple Beach is not much further. Because of its small size if you do pull up with a friend’s boat you would likely have the area to yourselves. Little Nipple Beach: Heading back upstream you will not get up to plane long and you will come to another no wake zone. On your right or starboard side just as you start to round the bend is a small sandy beach area. I’ve talked to a few local boaters that call this Little Nipple Beach. I’ve not come across that name before at this site so I don’t know how well that name is known. This beach is nice but rather small. It’s wide enough for about 4 to 6 boats to pull ashore. The sandy area from water to vegetation is about 6 to 8 feet deep. That’s enough for the kids to have some fun or adults to lie out and soak up some rays. Little Nipple Beach is not too far past Partridge Lake so this spot is less of a risk to get to with larger boats or during periods of low rainfall. Gills Landing/RJ Stringers: Continuing upriver in a few more minutes and a few more no wake zones you will come to a public boat landing and small park called Gills Landing on your left, or port side.
