Want to paddle in winter without leaving the midwest? Travel to Lake Columbia near Portage, Wisconsin. This is the winter destination of any paddle fanatic. Thanks to a billion-watt coal-fired power plant, its waters are heated up to 85 F. As long as the air temperature does not dip much below freezing, you can enjoy being on the water even during the snowiest of months.
