3'rd Drop (The Admiral)
3'rd Drop (The Admiral) Photo of Ryan Zimny by Seth Warren @ 1.75 ft River DescriptionThis is an incredible run in a deep, scenic canyon. A great variety of steep straight slides, steep twisting slides, a vertical falls or two, and a couple mandatory portages. This is one you want to do with someone who knows the run, or it will be a L-O-N-G day.Take-out for portage around Pitchfork Falls is approximately 0.5 mile upstream. The further downstream you go, the tougher the carry out. (You must carry to the canyon rim, proceed downstream, then carry back down to the river. Re-entry to river involves a steep climb. Ropes (and knowledge of rappelling techniques) may be necessary. Public take-out is by paddling 1/2 mile (to your right) on Lake Superior to Paradise Beach. Note: While some call this "Devils Track" or "Devil's Track", the consensus information I have suggests those are incorrect names for the river -- it is simply the Devil Track.
