River Description

Quick Facts:

Character: Tiny creek, likely to hold wood.
Drainage area near take-out: approximately 9 square miles.
Put-in elevation is approximately 820'.
Take-out elevation is approximately 607'.
Thus total elevation change is approximately 213'.

Information (lat, lng, elev, total drop, run length, shuttle length) adjusted and/or verified from best manual extrapolation of online data (via maps.google.com, distance measuring tool, and other resources). 2009.02.06

I believe I've heard of someone having 'explored' (or 'pioneered'?) this run, but I have no specific recollection or information about whether it was a 'discovery' or a 'disaster'.

If you are in L'Anse, and all the area runs are going huge, this creek may provide an option for still getting in your boat. However, I would expect there to be plenty of concern for wood.

Also, please note that it may not be possible or advisable to boat down to the bay. You may need to get out at North 4th Street, or Main Street, if the culverts do not allow passage.

Anyone having more specific knowledge is welcomed to share it by posting a trip report.
