Description
The listed put-in is actually on the N.Fk.Eau Claire, 2.6 miles up from the confluence with the S.Fk.Eau Claire. An alternate put-in is possible cutting the trip to about 5 miles, and catching the more significant rapids. Or, for a longer trip, start further upstream at "Hamilton Falls" (which would mean a trip of very nearly 13 miles to the listed take-out).
Low-grade boulder-bed rapids are scattered down this reach.
Take-out at CTH.G Landing, also known as Troubled Water Bridge.
