Trip Report

ReporterMark Mastalski

The Lower Dells is the prettiest stretch on the Wolf and usually offers three lines getting more difficult as you go from river right to river left.
This shows the view after running the initial drop of the Lower Dells. Just after the little gorge many jump from the cliffs into the water on river left.
This hole at the base of Sullivan's is always a good place to practice flat spins.
This is the last drop of the Upper Dells. Half way down on the river left is a classic ender spot. This is also a place where you can pull over in your kayak or raft and buy a beer in case you've already finished all the ones you brought.
A river wide ledge, Sullivan's is generally best run river left of center. The play hole for flat spins is over on right right and can be attained from where the group is sitting.
