Carp (Marquette)

Paddled this today for the first time. It was a lot of fun! I'm fairly new to whitewater though I've been paddling most of my life. This section challenged me. The water was relatively low too. I can't imagine this at high water; it would be sick!

There were several river-wide strainers (trees) that I had to portage around which required eddy turns to avoid them. Also I'd recommend pulling out of the river when you reach the mountain bike bridge. There's not much more excitement downstream from there and there are a couple of portages required; I just don't think the river action is worth the portages. Unless Lake Superior is making good waves; then it may be worth it. Enjoy; it's a lot of fun and beautiful scenery if you have time to look between strokes.
