Trip Report

ReporterDan Varick

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.
