Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportI run it on 1.9.2018. Lots of trees have fallen in the river, but we were able to portage around. The massive fires that have devastated the surrounding area have not cleared the brushes. Expect a strainer fest. Still fun if you don't mind portaging and bring the right skills.
brushy technical, 2 river wide trees in this section about midway. only USGS marker i could find is at the mouth which is well below this sectionand it seems runnable when that reads 1500+ cfs at mirabel heights. class 5 at higher flows. A few small steps. very fun and beautiful if you can catch it on a sunny day
