North Platte

Packrafted this on 3/29/2020 at 75 cfs, There are a couple of rapids to run early on, but then there are 4 or 5 sieve portages that get increasingly difficult. The last one is epicly difficult and very intimidating and puzzleing to look at, where you spend a quarter mile scrambling, wading, and boating across pools. This could change, but it was best to start this portage by descending the middle boulder jumble 'island' until it ends, ferry across a pool to the left wall, descend the portage no more than a hundred feet, then ferry to the right wall, and continue to portage to the lake. Once paddling on the lake, keep an eye out for a ravine within a mile on the left, which has a small flat camping spot, good for several tents and a camp fire. Keep your food secure from otter that live nearby.

From the rim with water (never happens)

I ran this once at 75 cfs and would recommend it to those who want to see the canyon but who are not looking for big whitewater. Don't go once the lake is frozen.

Looking up into the entrance into Fremont Canyon from the rim.

This is the one section of sieve that probably requires a portage unless the dam is releasing big flows.
