Description
The most significant rapids is about 200 yards long and features considerably more gradient and difficulty than the rest of the run. A substantial hole midway through, followed by shallow rock (right) and a bend with a large tree/snag (left) made this a portage for most of us at the high water level. UPDATE October 23, 2005. A group of UW Hoofers ran this stretch at probably the bare minimum (see Put-in picture). There are several minor rapids from each/any of the listed acceess points (put-ins) and the most significant rapids mentioned above. At the minimal level, this significant rapid was a steep boulder garden that resembled a pinball course, emphasis on pin. We were able to make our way through due to the low flows. Intermediate flows may make this drop ugly, if not a mandatory portage. This run makes a great companion run for the near-by Pine River (Lincoln Co.).
