This is the last 3 miles of the Blackwater below the Wildlife reserve and above Davis.  Camp 70 road parallels the run which is quite popular with fisherman. In this stretch, the bottom changes from sand to rock and Class 2-3 rapids begin to form. This stretch is quite fun. Watch out for the 10 foot dam near Davis. Portage on the right.
