Otter Creek

There are TONS of tree in this run - the first 2 miles are faster walked than paddled (as of late march) the upper marchy section is sweet, but trees are a horrendous problem. around every bend is a problem to be negotiated, its fun if your in the mood for headwaters, but it took hours to get to the 15 footer be prepared and start early! as a result we had to hike out (we had wanted to make it to the dry fork but only put on at 1 pm) and then back in the following day to finish the paddle. I think most (if not all the ones in the whitewater section were passable, at the low level we were there at - but 2 or 3 were very sketchy. the drops arent big but usually blind and bony. needed more water in the creek, sneakers, a creek boat (lost my boat day before...dont ask) flashlight, more food, a faster group, and a chainsaw.
