Nine-Day Rapids

OtherClass II45.78900, -88.41658

Description

At 1/3 mile in length this is the longest rapids on this stretch. Many guide maps have the wrong location of this rapids.  It is not where the DNR “nine-day” campsite is.  Historically (from logging era), the original name for this rapids was changed from Long Rapids to Nine-Day Rapids when it took Anunson's crew 9 days to clear a log jam at the foot of this complex set of rapids.  At flows under 300 CFS, to avoid hanging up on the rocky shallows, stay to the outside (river-right) as the river widens and turns abruptly left.
