Description
Quick Facts: Location: 6.5 miles ESE of Ironwood/Hurley. Shuttle Length: 7.8 miles. (See details in "Directions" Tab.) Character: Quiet northwoods float, punctuated by a class II drop and maybe a few light rapids. Put-in is approximately 1475' elevation. Take-out is approximately 1384' elevation. Thus total elevation change is approximately 92'. This reach is mostly a backcountry float, consisting of (very few) class I and II rockbed rapids interspersed with moving and quietwater. Granite Falls, a class II rapid, is the biggest drop. Access at this point is possible for a shorter trip if so desired. This knocks off 1.87 miles. (Coordinates: 46.4353N, 90.0321W)
