We were doing the Sprucevale to Grimms Bridge section on 4-29-14. The flow was about 500cfm. Just past the horse park at the S turn there was a tree across the river at the first turn. Portage is on the rivers right. Immediately after the S turn there is another tree although the river was low enough we were able to get under that one. Otherwise the portage would be on the rivers left to get around that one. I see that the flow is way higher today and climbing so I don't know what that will do to the obstructions. Shortly downriver from there we saw an amazing gathering of bald eagles! A total of eight, one adult and 7 juveniles all together in the same stretch! Awesome! One of the juveniles swooped down and wacked the head of a blue heron. Quite the sight. The ride took about 3 hours.
