River Description

Ed Evangelidi testifies:
Note that in wintertime the lake freezes over and may present you with a long stretch of ice too thick to portage on and too thin to easily punch through. Also, the dam and portage site may not be easily identifiable in foggy conditions. In that scenario it would be best to keep to the right and walk/scout around from time to time so that you find the takeout without getting too near the edge of the spillway.

Gauge

Gauge Description:

There is a section of this that is an honest to god whitewater run under the right conditions. Unfortunately, it runs out into a lake that drowns another 30 feet of gradient.

The gauge is at the putin. The top part of this run is very creeky. Two miles down from the putin is a bridge with 4 foot culverts that needs to be treated with caution.

The run picks up after the alternate putin about halfway down. The next section runs through a gorge. Just as things start to get interesting, the lake intervenes. After your boring flatwater paddle, portage down the left side of the spillway. A short uninteresting section takes you down to Rt. 1
