Wilmington to Ausable Forks I-III+
River DescriptionPut in on river-right just below the dam in Wilmington. Starts with continuous solid class II for 2 miles to the Haselton Rd. bridge. Below the bridge, rapids become easier over the next mile, eventually easing to quickwater. After a couple of miles of quickwater paddling, rapids start to pick up again, getting increasingly difficult up to Class III. Rapids end abruptly at a flatwater with high rock walls on either side. This 200 yard flatwater ends at a 35 ft. dam - carry on the right. The take out is right up against the wall next to the dam and carry up a V shaped slot. Just below the dam is a short (200 yard) section of class III+ water, followed by another mile of class III and II/III water to the junction with the East branch in Ausable Forks. Take out at the river junction in a town park on the right.This section of the river is a very pretty paddle. Most of the river is away from roads and civilization until the last mile. A few hunting camps can be seen, but few other signs of civilization. The river runs in the spring and after heavy rains. StreamTeam Status: unverified
