mostly Class 2 with a few Class 3s. There is an artificial ledge where a pipeline crosses just
above the highway and confluence. I ran it; most portaged; it was scrapy. Ten years ago, there was
some bulldozing going on along the shore, so there might be houses along part of it now, but I
don't know for sure. We enjoyed it, but it requires very heavy rains and probably snowmelt. The
western approach to the put-in is crazy-icy at times in the winter; best to find the eastern
approach if in doubt. Edit
