Trip Report

ReporterBrad Cederberg

Comments on the river below. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIND MY BOAT, REWARD FOR SAFE RETURN! We lost a maroon and gray 'Wilderness II' single man pontoon boat. It was lost stuck in a log jam on river left about one mile by river from the River Junction put in. please email me at Bradley.Cederberg@gmail.com.

We learned the hard way that this section of river is running a little higher than normal. We were set up for a lazy river float (what it would normally be this time of year). Turns out this river is at least a month behind normal river flow. Per above post, we were wrong. Everyone got out just fine but we lost a boat. River Junction to Scotty Brown bridge is just shy of three hours. Beautiful float. Float this section if you are looking for less traffic and a terrific camp spot at put out. The end of the road to RJ is a little rough be manageable without 4x4.
