U-Haul - 6 Day Rentals lets you take the Brule River on your schedule, floating through northeastern Wisconsin from Brule, Wisconsin. A six-day rental opens time to read the river: long flatwater stretches, quick riffles, pocket eddies and rock shelves framed by cathedral pines. Choose from canoes for tandem trips, recreational or sea kayaks for touring, stand-up paddleboards, or purpose-built whitewater kayaks for punchier currents—each rental includes paddle(s), a USCG-approved personal flotation device and shuttle service so you start and finish where you like. Whitewater kayak packages also come with helmets and spray skirts. The Brule's character is simple and changeable: shallow riffles that rattle your canoe, deeper pools that invite a break, and short sections of current that demand basic boat handling. The six-day format turns a single outing into a week of camp-to-camp exploration; launch days can be short and relaxed or planned for longer mileage when the weather and water allow. Check in at the Brule River Office for equipment pickup and trip planning; the rental rates vary by craft and weekday versus weekend—canoes, tandem kayaks, single sea kayaks, and SUPs are all listed with clear pricing. Practicality sets this operation apart: gear choices cover paddlers from first-timers to experienced paddlers chasing class-III drops in dedicated whitewater kayaks, while the included shuttle removes logistical friction. Local anglers, birders and photographers use these same launches to reach quiet bends and riffle-fed pools; look for exposed rock shelves and shoreline pines that create photogenic lines. Because you're on your own for six consecutive days, plan resupply points and campsites ahead—some stretches have primitive camps, others require a return to town. Why book U-Haul - 6 Day Rentals? It’s a straightforward, equipment-forward way to own the river for days at a time without committing to guided group schedules. For families, couples and small groups it's flexible: canoe or tandem recreational kayaks handle mixed skill levels, while single and whitewater kayaks suit paddlers who want a technical challenge. The Brule River corridor is a cornerstone of local outdoor recreation in Brule, Wisconsin—book at the Brule River Office, pack smart, and expect an accessible week of river travel that puts the landscape and your paddling skills front and center. Head to Brule River Office for check-in, and review the equipment list with staff; rental details cover paddles, PFDs, and shuttle service for the listed party size. Weekday and weekend pricing differ, and options include solo kayaks, tandem vessels, and stand-up boards.
