River Description

Overall gradient is not all that high due to a fair amount of flatwater (ok, that's pretty typical for the Midwest), but you will find some good areas of gradient. Size is pretty decent (50 sq.mi. drainage at former USGS gauge site at listed take-out), so it should be boatable a decent number of times each year. Aerial views online appear to show a good number of stretches which look interesting.

So . . . has anyone paddled this stretch? Help out your fellow paddlers with some first-hand information via the 'Add a Comment' button which should appear below for all registered, logged-in users of this website. Or, add a 'report' (with photo(s)/video(s), if possible).
