In southern Wisconsin, a lazy river provides hours of enjoyment for those who want to relax and get away from it all. The Sugar River meanders through farms and forests, giving paddlers and tubers a wild yet tranquil experience that’s a perfect way to spend a warm day. Outfitters near the river make the adventure easy – here’s how you can experience Wisconsin’s Sugar River.

The river is a tributary of the Pecatonica River and it’s located in Wisconsin and Illinois. The river starts in the hills south of Madison, near where the last glacier stopped its path into Wisconsin.

Trips can take just 45 minutes if you’re in a kayak or nearly four hours if you’re in a tube. When the water is low, the trips can take a little longer. You may want to bring some refreshments along.

Tube rentals at S&B are $15; kayak rentals are $20 and if you want a tube to hold your cooler, it will cost $5. S&B can provide string so you can tie your group’s tube together – you don’t want to float away from the cooler! If you do bring a cooler, leave glass and styrofoam at home, as it’s not allowed on the river.
