River Description
Quick Facts:
Location: 6.5 miles ESE of Ironwood/Hurley.
Shuttle Length: 7.8 miles. (See details in "Directions" Tab.)
Character: Quiet northwoods float, punctuated by a class II drop and maybe a few light
rapids.
Put-in is approximately 1475' elevation.
Take-out is approximately 1384' elevation.
Thus total elevation change is approximately 92'.
This reach is mostly a backcountry float, consisting of (very few) class I and II rockbed rapids
interspersed with moving and quietwater. Granite Falls, a class II rapid, is the biggest drop.
Access at this point is possible for a shorter trip if so desired. This knocks off 1.87 miles.
