Trip Report

ReporterJosh DeVane

A friend and I ran this earlier in the week and it seemed to have great potential. The level was pretty low and we had to scoot our boats and push ourselves down every rapid. There were 4 river-wide strainers (2 we portaged and 2 we could squeeze under the downed tree). There were many interesting looking rapids along the way that would be great at high water. I suggest, as a general rule, if you can't clear the 1st rapid without scraping, wait until the level is higher. This short stretch took us over 2 hours to run at this scrapy level. Overall a neat river and one that I want to do again.
