Trip Report

ReporterRobert Pope

Ran on April 14th, 2020. The class 2s on the first 2 miles are surprisingly really fun. You can portage grindle on the left by exiting before the entrance slide and walking along a narrow faint trail and lowering boats down/scrambling down the left side bank by the falls. It isn't a fun portage. Flow was 850 cfs. Run the entrance slide with a left angle to easily catch the current heading for the falls. We ran laps on the left slot double drop of the falls, there is a small tree in the right slot taller single drop. Ran the slide below grindle right of center. Center has a piton rock. Scout copper mine, it had some wood in center. Left side is good to go.
