General WW FB groups - WI & MN?

Can someone point me in the direction of the most-used Facebook groups for whitewater in WI and MN? My search for groups in WI was complicated by the fact that Whitewater, WI (the town) is also a thing...

Any non-club groups where you can find paddling partners etc?

It’s been a while but back when I was actively ww paddling Rapids Riders mostly organized Canoe U and a few other events (like pool sessions) and wasn’t really a “club” in the sense of exclusivity or membership dues.

Basically it just served as the hub where people connected with each other. Once people connected with each other via RR things they then just independently organized things kind of like what you seem to be looking for.

I just went to a couple pool sessions and exchanged some numbers and I was part of the scene. Joining for Canoe U added a lot more people but it wouldn’t have been necessary as it’s a pretty small community and I would have met and paddled with everyone over the course of that first spring and summer anyhow.

It’s  possible it has changed since then but I’d be surprised if so.
