River Description

Longer (mostly flatwater) trips available. Alternative access points may allow shortening this trip as well. It appears (via maps) the trip may be 'halved', and the lower portion may be almost 'halved' as well. (Convenience of access unknown, nor is the specific location of rapids, therefore unknown what accesses to use for 'best' whitewater on shortest reach.)

Adding some info...this isn't really a whitewater river at all, atleast not from the lake near Nelma to Paint River Pond. You can paddle a continuous 50 mile section of river with no portages, however the biggest 'rapid' you'll find is a small 2 foot ledge. Beyond that if you want a scenic kayak camping trip that you could also canoe camp that flows when everything else is low this is perfect. There are a few established campsites along the way, one being just after that small ledge. -Jake
