Trip Report

ReporterAdrian Bout

Hans was trying to get me to run this some day. it actually looked really active and runnable in spring and/or heavy rain. drains from same watershed as the Fish.

Ha! i ran this a week later...
these type rapids occured frequently.
this is the largest drop on this section. its approx. 20 feet tall and lands on slab...also the only must-portage on this river.
when portaging, be kind to the owners of the nearby cabin and posted land.

a class III ledge on the Mad. multi tier and shaped like a horse-shoe, i called it Stadium Ledge.
