A) Devil Track Lake to Maple Hill (3.2 miles)

Putting in below Devil Track Lake (off Hwy.8), the first 0.75 mile is swift water and a couple areas of ponding, until the main gradient begins. Areas with snags are likely to be encountered (with a couple quick "scramble-for-an-eddy and portage" spots), but otherwise an absolutely gorgeous paddle, past red-rock walls, through almost continuous class II (+/-) all the way to the take-out at CR60. Gradient (after the first 0.75 mile) ranges from 50-70 FPM (full-mile values), and even the steepest quarter-mile does not exceed 90FPM equivalent. That said, make certain not to miss the take-out or you will be into the class IV-V section!
