Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportIs there a rough way to gauge the level based on the capacity of Jim Falls and the flow at Chippewa falls? With the rain this summer I have been wondering if Jim falls is running after some of the small stuff has settled out.
It was a rainy day with the water at 57.3F. Had the river to ourselves. At about noon the river channel below this stretch dropped about 2 feet exposing a nice ledge at the last rapid. Usually it is higher and you get some waves with a lot of boogie/boiling water.

a better put in spot is another 500 feet north on 178 past the old bridge.A historical marker and picnic area provides a parking lot and easy access to the river.The river is very shallow and a short walk up river is required during normal level.This put in allows you to get lined up on the river left chute below the bridge.this is a narrow chute that starts with a left turn into a gradual slope down streem.During normal levels, there are 2 rocks at the end of the chute.A hard right is required although I have managed to canoe threw them.
