Just did this run @862 CFS on 6/9/2020 and it was GREAT!!! The put-in off 2219th was full of no trespassing and private property signs so I used the Lowell Canoe Launch on 2249th by Vermillion River Rafting. There is fairly limited parking at the put-in so take this into account when planning shuttles. The take-out at the Vermillion River Boat Launch is well marked with ample parking as well as a port-a-potty and plenty of grass for a picnic. As far as the actual run it was pretty tame at 862: I ran Wildcat on the left and it was a cinch, I swam at the dam because I dropped my paddle and couldn't roll barehanded, but it was still more fun than anything else. I would strongly suggest beginning paddlers portage the dam at these levels.
