River Description
Another 'unknown' reach . . . marked rapids on the topo maps, on a stretch of river we have no other info regarding. Drainage area is sufficient for a fair number of days per year of runnable flows. Rapids appear to be generally low-grade (probably class II at good flows).
Note: The listed put-in and take-out appear to give the best 'bang for the buck' (most apparent rapids with least flatwater). Additional rapids may exist beyond those marked on topos. A longer trip may be chosen to continue to additional rapids, which have been marked on the map and listed in the 'Rapids' tab.
Have you seen this stretch or boated it? Please help out your fellow boaters with a comment or report with more details!

This may be a better put-in if the upper one is not accessible and/or if the 'apparent' rapids between it and here are not worth the bother.

Low and slow but a few fun rapids to scrape over. Ran in packraft and walk shuttled. Might be tough to get a canoe down these rapids with these flows.
-Log jam .25 mile down from the 110 bridge, had to portage around.
-Another small log jam around mile 7.
Overall a fun stretch and adventure.
