Based on the photos you supplied and the maps <br />I reviewed, it appears Spirit Creek would be able to float a canoe and is navigable, therefore, protected by <br />state statutes. <br />I hope this information is helpful and if you need any additional information, please call me at 715-635- <br />4097. <br />Sincerely, <br />0 — <br />Ed Slaminski <br />Water Management Specialist <br />wwwAnr.state.wims Quality Natural Resources Management 0 <br />www.wisconsin.gov Through Excellent Customer Service Prirdedm <br />Recyded <br />Paper <br />
