Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportCanoed this with my dog last weekend. Put on at highway 45 and took out at the marina in Ontonagon. It is roughly 24 river miles from highway 45 to the marina and a canoe river the whole way. There were some riffles and Irish Rapid or something and then Grand Rapids at 12 miles in. All the rapids are read and run class I and we were great in the canoe with one of the paddlers being a dog. This is American Whitewater, no one who comes here for beta needs to know anything to be okay here, its a canoe river. The confluence with W.Branch Ontonagon is 1.75 miles in, the only road/bridge is 4 miles in, and otherwise its wide open river the whole way. That 3 fpm value is pretty accurate, its all moving flatwater. Bring extra beer.
