Trip Report

The remains of an old bridge clutter the river, creating challenges. The chute between the two bridge parts is generally the easiest route, but it is easy to portage on the left or run other routes. If you crash into the obstructions you could wrap a boat. Once past the bridge, continue a bit to the left, then down the main channel to the right.
