Strainer alert--Backfork of Elk
Posted by Mike Mullins on 3/10/2003
Approximately 200 yards b/4 first drop on 'Three Falls Section of Back Fork' there is a river wide strainer. It looks like it has been there for a while, but the river left side appears to have picked up several limbs in the recent storms. Because river left side is just at water surface, at higher water, river left may be hidden and/or look passable. Its not, and probably won't be anytime soon.
There is an easy portage on river left.
