Bad

Ran on 4/10/20 @ ~400 (off Bad near Odanah). This is a real gem of WW in the Northwoods. Ran from Coyuga Junction down to Foster. As described the river has a few significant drops with well spaced out flat water stretches. The flatwater however does not feel as lengthy due to how it is broken up. Additionally, as described counting bridges is helpful and taking out above 4th RR bridge to scout Conley/Rocket is good. At this level this was clearly a V- with a pretty sticky hole and a tricky upstream set up. (Upstream looks a bit like Rockcut on W. Fork). We portaged RL over bridge putting in at collection eddy RR following small gametrail/path. Downstream there are a few rapids until TO at 7th RR bridge with graffiti on it.

Ran the river Tuesday May 28 2013 me and Tyler cut the tree out of the way on the main line but part fell into the line the Minnesota crew cleaned out. We ran the main line I made it but he got stuck in the drop and had to swim after trying to roll about three times. The hole is very sticky and his boat got beat down for about 40 min before I was able to pull out with part of a tree. I also have had my boat stuck in that hole before. Any one who runs Rocket Railroad/Conley Falls should have very good paddle skills.

Video from Ed'O from a run 4/16/11 at ~5.4ft and falling on youtube. Rocket Railroad/Conley Falls (local name) was portaged.

Good level for the river

Open boated this stretch several times & love it. Excellent write-up. But, for those that have been there: don't you think that main rapids should be called 'AC/DC'?

First Class II-III drop. Right tongue was a nice ride at this level.
Second class III pool drop rapid. Note big rock in center. We chose left tongue.
First series of rapids encountered after mile-long flatwater intro.
This is the first of two big drops at the end of the Rocket Railroad Intro. Note the nasty piton rock in the middle. We chose left. Be careful to lean forward as the river left pour over sent both of our creek boats near vertical.
This is the final class III drop of the day. Note the BIG LOG river left. Scout river right to see what else may have accumulated here.

Here are the continuous class III drops leading up to the final series of III+(IV) drops of the Rocket Railroad Rapid. FUN!
