River Description

These rapids are marked on maps and listed among rapids and falls of the Upper Peninsula. Reportedly both shores are privately owned.

We have no more info about these rapids, so we could use your input here. Anyone out there ever run this stretch of river? Worthwhile? Not so much? Report!

Distance: 0 mi

While the listed reach starts just below the dam, this results in a somewhat lengthy shuttle (compared to the length of the run). As a result, it may be worth checking into the 'Alternate Access'.

There is really only a rather short pond/pool between the upper and lower rapids, making for very nearly a mile of fine nearly continuous rapids.
