River Description
Put-in is from a roadside park on Hwy.41
The main feature on the run is Tioga Falls (about 2 miles downstream).
Take-out is after a L-O-N-G paddle out on the Sturgeon River.
(While our rapids/features list includes waypoints and rapids down this stretch, our gradient statistics cited above are ONLY for the Tioga, and do not include this paddle-out).
River Features
Put In
Tioga Falls
You'll know you are at Tioga Falls when you see a cabin on the immediate river-right shore. (This cabin is a rental unit! Check it out, with great photos of the REAL falls, at: Home Away Vacation Rental.)
Dam/Weir?
A small weir/dam appears to exist at this point. It is likely that (at flows required to run Tioga) this will be a 'non-event', awash in flow with perhaps no sign of its existance. However, in case that assessment is wrong, be alert. It is possible it may (at some flows) create a keeper hydraulic . . . or . . . maybe a playable feature (for those who know the difference).
Take-out
Take-out (or continue)
The listed take-out is at Old US Hwy.41. However, if you have allowed yourself sufficient time, you may wish to continue to enjoy these light splishy-splash rapids which continue another 1.5 miles to (new) US Hwy.41.
