Popple Rivers offer a true wild experience, being among Wisconsin's more remote river systems. The area is rugged and undeveloped. Access is limited and often difficult. The best season for river running, particularly on the white water sections, is April through May when spring snow melt and rains swell the river's flow.

Both the Pine and the Popple Rivers provide scenic canoeing and camping. Campsites along the rivers can be accessed only by canoe and add unique experiences for visitors. Enjoy every part of the season from the fast spring water to the colorful autumn days.
