Trip Report

ReporterJames Dougherty

Know where rock slide is. Left side probably the only way down at any level, portage on the right. 3ft and better to run rock slide. I was told by a local that 30yrs someone went over the dam, recirculated and drowned. It's easy to boat scout rockslide at 4ft and lower, I wonder if at higher levels one might get pushed over without being set-up and ready. No fantastic manovering needed, it's basically a point and shoot and stay upright kinda thing. First timers might wanna scout on left, although I heard the person who owns the house gets upset.
