River DescriptionTom Resch shared:
Paddled from Masemore Road to Blue Mount Road on May 10, 2004. Level was right around 2'. Lots of dead wood down but everything was passable. Thanks to the kind soul or souls who cleared paths through the strainers that previously had to be portaged. For those who have never paddled this stretch, it's a very scenic PN run...most of your trouble will come from the dead wood but anyone with good boat control should have no problems. Quarry Rapid, at the end of the run, will delight the novice paddler. StreamTeam Status: unverified

Paddled 4/15/06 Cleared most major strainers but there are some narrow channels around other wood. Need to be moderately cautious. At 1st rapid (90 degree bend) there is a stump in the middle of the rapid, narrow passage on right, better to stay left if possible
