In Wisconsin, you are not legally required to wear a personal flotation device (PFD), but you must have one with you while on the water, whether stowed inside the boat or tied down on top. Especially in rapids or sandbars with sudden drops, wearing a PFD can save your life.

Also, it’s not a bad idea to have a spare paddle with you. Investing in a cheap backup could be the difference between a great day on the river and a terrible one. No one wants to be that person up the creek without a paddle! Many rental outfitters will sell you a basic paddle for next to nothing.
