White River (Wisconsin)

The White River is a freshwater tributary located in the counties of Racine and Walworth, Wisconsin, that flows for 19 miles[citation needed] out of Geneva Lake in Lake Geneva to the Fox River in Burlington.

[1][2] The remains of a dam from the 19th century are visible on Sheridan Springs Road where it crosses the river entering Lyons, Wisconsin from the west.

This formed a mill pond that is still shown on maps today even though it was drained several decades ago.

[3] The White River is a destination for kayakers and canoers as it offers a range of ripples with a sand and pebble bottom and clear water.

There is a section with class II rapids emptying into a relatively large, deep pool that is popular with paddlers looking to cool off in the hot summer months.
