“Stay right”or “Dog Leg”

Start river center, be ready to ferry river right. Beach it if you have to. At high water it’s an easy move to the inside right. At low water there is a rock right in the middle of the move, pull inside anyway. If you go left, DO NOT fall out of the boat and you will have to push up on the rock pile at the end. To swim this is potentially deadly. It’s a Class III- with Class VI consequences. Everything on this river is either sieved or under cut. Several people have died on these Cliff underestimating the Dearborn. I run it 100 miles per year even if I have to hike the low water.
