Wolf River Recreational Boating Study

NES stream  ecologists studied changes in turbidity in response to recreational watercraft use in reaches of the Lower Wolf River in North Central Wisconsin. NES helped to secure funding for this project by obtaining a Wisconsin DNR grant on behalf of the Wolf River Preservation Association.

Our scientists logged many hours recording such parameters as turbidity, boat speed, wake height and boat type. In the near future, the data collected will be used by managers to help determine proper boating regulations.
