This is our first trip out on the Chain o Lakes. We launched from Lighthouse Marina off rt 12 just before you cross the lakes (if heading north). It is cement boat launch, so it is rough on the canoe. That is the only thing that makes me cringe with this location. The location of the launch is great. It is in a 'no wake' zone, so even if you are headed out during the summer, power boats are not swamping you at the launch.
There are a lot of marinas in this small section so make sure you watch yourself. You can cut straight West and catch the mouth of the Nippersink or you can head North to the Lakes or South to the Fox River.
In this video we headed North and took the smaller channel under "Beer Can Bridge". There is a nice current through this section so pay attention. There also is a lot of power boat traffic in season so make sure you are seen and stay out of the way.
