If you search hard enough, there are still pockets of natural beauty that haven't been ruined by commercialism at The Dells...this is one of those spots
Yashica ML 35-70 Macro lens with a Fotodiox Pro to Nikon adaptor. Wisconsin River at city of Portage just below the canal lock. This was rebuilt in 2020; it's a duplicate of the historic structure in which a guard was placed during flood watches. When flooding in the area was imminent in the old days, these guards would alert the townspeople. This is the area in the WIKI referred to as "The Portage". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin_River
A westbound Canadian National train rolls over the Wisconsin River near Prairie du Chien, WI., on the Burlington Northern. On the point are three SD40s in three different paint schemes, including DW&P. Mike and I canoed from Highway 18 downriver to this point and spent a day photographing trains on the bridge. We were able to relax on these sandbars occasionally, but paddling back upriver in the evening was not a cakewalk. Craig Williams was there!

Gypsies danced around the campfire, shook their tambourines
They were waiting for ghost of an outlaw, Sundown was his name
As the midnight hour drew closer, and the sky began to fall
You could see his shadow in the light of the moon
You could hear the Gypsies call
The Outlaws

Wild Daylilies watching the sunset along the Wisconsin River. Their day is almost done. Tomahawk, WI 8/3/2020
A view of the Wausau, Wisconsin skyline as seen from a bridge crossing the Wisconsin River. The tall building in the center is an 11-story high-rise known locally as the Dudley Tower (officially First Wausau Tower) that is the tallest commercial building in Wisconsin outside of Milwaukee. It is named after the late Richard Dudley, a pioneer in television and a well-known businessman in the Wausau area who was instrumental in getting the First Wausau Tower built. The bridge I was standing on is an old railroad trestle that has been converted into a walking bridge connecting the River Edge Parkway to the trails on Barker-Stewart Island and Big Bull Falls Park.
A cool way to view mine or anyone else's photostream is on fluidr.
Completed in 2007, this ten story office building situated along the Wisconsin River in downtown Wausau, Wisconsin provides office space for approximately 500 employees. The Dudley Tower rises 250 feet from ground to spire, making it the tallest building in Central Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin.
"The Dells of the Wisconsin River, also called the Wisconsin Dells (from French dalles, or slab-like rocks), is a 5-mile gorge on the Wisconsin River in south-central Wisconsin. It is noted for its scenic beauty, in particular for its unique Cambrian sandstone rock formations and tributary canyons.
The cliffs, some over 100 feet high, and side canyons are closed to the public to protect sensitive ecological features. The viewing of the rock formations by water is a popular tourist attraction in the area. The nearby city of Wisconsin Dells is the center of summer tourist activity, much of it in the form of the theme parks unrelated to the river features."
Heavy hoarfrost along open water on the WIsconsin River created amazing textures in the ice and snow. Canoe portage at Council Ground State Park in Merrill, Wisconsin (Lincoln County) on February 14, 2016.

Wisconsin & Southern train L467, led by the 30th and 40th Anniversary commemorative units, crosses the Wisconsin River/Lake Wisconsin bridge at Merrimac, Wisconsin on August 27, 2023. The bridge is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar rehabilitation project. The locomotives and first three cars are on new spans that have been installed recently at the rate of one per week. The seventh new span has been prepared and awaits installation and can be seen next to the crane at the far right of the scene.
36:52 - Convergence: Where the Wisconsin River empties into the Mississippi River stands a park on the Iowa side of the river. Our first visit was going to be a dud I feared, arriving before fall colors on what turned into an overcast cool day. I was wrong.
As the temperatures make their seasonal tumble we often get foggy mornings which beautifully enhance the remaining fall foliage. Five image panorama taken on Lake Alice (aka Wisconsin River) in Tomahawk, WI on Oct 16, 2016.

Freezing fog created white tree sentries along the edges of the Wisconsin River near my home in Tomahawk, WI 1/5/2021 (5 image pano)
The first Wisconsin River crossing the Prairie Line makes is just east of Spring Green Wisconsin. This is by far the most easily accessible bridge to photograph and most interesting out of the three. High winds on the 10th had knocked down most of the leaves so the pair of scarlet red locomotives really helped brighten the scene. On this day we were also fortunate enough to photograph the second crossing of the Wisconsin River just west of Lone Rock Wisconsin. The hike through seven foot tall marsh weeds is not for the faint of heart. But those who make the trek will be rewarded with another pleasing bridge to photograph on the WSOR Prairie Line. Although this isn't a Tier 4 GEVO, I still find this pretty neat.
The Wisconsin River, and the sandstone shorelines are a major tourist attraction and recreational area during the summer months. French explorers were the first to arrive here, although Native Americans lived here for generations. The name 'Wisconsin' came from the Algonquian language, and explorer Jacques Marquette calling it 'Meskousing." Later spelled 'Ouisconsin."
