I paddled this section in about 1975 with my father, David Kuckuk of Shawano. This is all from memory. It has gorgeous scenery, better than the upper sections. Turtle rapids is about 100 yds of nice wavy II with a sweeping s-turn. White rapids is a ledge or very short, steep boulder drop, also a good quality II or II+ rapids kind of like First Drop on the Roaring Rapids. Big Eddy is in a very impressive amphitheater-like scene. Long portage for us open canoeists. The name refers to the huge pool with 'big eddies' on both sides circulating back to the drop.
I don't remember anything other than riffles elsewhere on the run, and we took out at the bridge that starts Keshena Falls.
