SUMMARY:Wild Goose Backwater Boat Tour - Fountain City
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a backwater tour of the Mississippi River—especially through the quiet channels\, sloughs\, and chutes off the main navigation channel—visitors experience a side of the river that feels untouched and serene. \nHere is a glimpse of what travelers can expect to see: \nWildlife & Birdlife \n\nMajestic Birds of Prey: Bald eagles soaring overhead or nesting high in cottonwood trees\, along with osprey\, red-tailed hawks\, and peregrine falcons.\nWading & Water Birds: Great blue herons\, snowy egrets\, and green herons hunting in the shallow waters\, as well as migrating waterfowl like white pelicans\, wood ducks\, mallards\, and tundra swans (in season).\nReptiles & Amphibians: Painted turtles\, map turtles\, and snapping turtles basking on fallen logs in the sun\, along with leopard frogs along the mudflats.\nAquatic Mammals: North American river otters playing along the banks\, beaver lodges and dams\, muskrats swimming through the reeds\, and white-tailed deer drinking at the water’s edge.\n\nFlora & Natural Scenery \n\nBlooming Water Lilies & American Lotus: Sweeping fields of large green lotus pads and bright yellow blooms floating on still backwater bays (typically peak mid-to-late summer).\nFloodplain Forests & Canopy: Towering silver maples\, river birches\, green ashes\, and giant cottonwoods hanging over the narrow channels\, creating shaded aquatic tunnels.\nSubmerged Vegetation: Underwater beds of eelgrass and coontail that serve as critical nurseries for young fish and feeding grounds for ducks.\n\nRiver Features & History \n\nWing Dams & Sandbars: Submerged stone structures (wing dams) built to direct currents\, visible just under the surface\, creating swirling eddies and shallow sand beaches perfect for stopping or viewing wildlife.\nQuiet Sloughs & Chutes: Calmer waters shielded from commercial barge traffic and large riverboats\, offering mirror-like reflections of the surrounding bluffs and tree lines.\nStunning Bluff Backdrops: High limestone and sandstone bluffs looming above the river valley\, framing the backwater labyrinth.\n\nSunday August 16th 3pm – 4.30 Pm \n\nTakeoff – The Landing Bar in Fountain City Wisconsin.\n1 N Shore Dr Fountain City\, WI 54629 \nPlease arrive at least 15 minutes early – Trip times are when boat leaves the dock. \nAll Trips are limited to maximum 25 tickets sold.
