Trip Report

ReporterNick Borelli

Update from 3/27: The run is clean from I-90 thorugh Cheesegrater. About .5 mile below Cheesegrater the river comes close to the road, then makes a hard left turn. Right around this blind corner is a dangerous root ball and log. There is a thin line starting river left then hard right behind the root ball (and in front of the log), but this is a hard Class III+ move at 600 cfs. At higher flows this will become more dangerous...take out of the left bank gravel bar before you go around the corner and make the easy portage to avoid trouble. Below this, I'm happy to report clean conditions all the way down.
