Trip Report
| Reporter | Heath Miller |
The ice storms this winter have brought down a lot of trees and limbs. There is a lot of wood in the rapids. There are a couple of really good rapids that can't be run because there are logs in them. If you are planning a trip down this section, start early so you make sure you have enough time to scout and portage, because you will be doing a lot of portaging. There are only a few big drops that require scouting but there are also a lot of fairly easy blind drops that must be scouting to make sure there is no wood. Don't let the fact that it is only 4+ river miles fool you it will take some time. We got caught by dark and had to spend the night. So, be prepared for it to be slow going.
