River Description
A fairly long reach, mostly good canoe-cruising, 8 miles West of the community of Rock, MI.
Technically, our listed put-in is on the Middle Branch. Not far downstream, as the East Branch enters from the left, the combined flow loses any 'branch' designation and becomes just the Escanaba. Aerial recon of the whole stretch (via Satellite view) fails to show any discernable features other than low-grade rock-garden riffles/rips/shoals. In fact, the best rapids in evidence are on the West Branch, immediately above it's confluence with this run!
