Description

From Spectacle Lake down, a pretty flatwater float with no rapids of consequence, but many river wide fences requiring portage. A very early season run, dropping out before other parts of the state start to flow. Several options upstream, including South Fork (Hike to, up to 5 miles), Pinnacles section, and a section putting in at this take out. -DJM, May 2023
