SUMMARY:🚣🛶 Warm‑Water Winter Paddle at Lake Columbia
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a bucket‑list paddle on one of Wisconsin’s most unique winter waters. Lake Columbia is a 378‑acre warm‑water lake created as a cooling pond for Alliant Energy’s 1\,100‑megawatt plant. Water drawn from the Wisconsin River becomes superheated during the cooling process and is released into the lake — keeping it surprisingly warm year‑round. In winter\, temps near the plant can reach 70°\, and in summer they can exceed 100°.This warm water meeting cold air creates a surreal landscape: rolling fog\, frost‑covered trees\, ice‑crusted grasses\, and shimmering hoar frost on everything from fences to rocks. It’s a photographer’s dream and a great place to spot eagles.What to Expect:* Out‑and‑back paddle; choose your route based on conditions* Lake is ~1.75 miles long and under 0.5 miles wide* A narrow dike runs almost the full length of the lake* Ideal conditions: sunny\, calm dayWhat to Bring:* Kayak or paddleboard or canoe* PFD (required)* Dry bag\, warm layers\, and winter paddling gear* Camera or phone for photos* Water & snacks* Lunch on your own afterwardsPlease RSVP at shawanopaddlers@gmail.com\, thank you!Who’s Welcome:Anyone who wants a unique\, warm‑water winter paddle with great scenery and a relaxed pace.
