Midwest Trips

(GORP.com)

This is largely an area in between mountains—the ""Great Plains""—not a likely scenario for good whitewater. But some decent runs can be found, mostly in the north and southern parts of the region. The wild rivers of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota can be bracing. And the Ozarks are a widely recognized whitewater destination, especially in the spring.
