A short, scenic stretch along the Portage Canal where river, historic canal structures and wooded trail sections create varied compositions — reflections on still water, autumn color in the trees, and seasonal ice patterns. Best at golden hour or blue hour; fall and winter offer the most dramatic color and texture. Small trailhead parking at 1301 WI‑33; trails are mostly easy-to-moderate footpaths with some boardwalks. No entry fee. Weekday mornings have fewer visitors; prepare for muddy patches
