Description
Compared with other sections of this river, and to other North Shore runs, this is much less continuous, and has no big drops, but still appears to have fine stretches of rapids for a fine 'up north' experience. There does appear to be at least one or two stretches which could push at least into class III. (Is it possible there could be some class IV hiding somewhere here too? Perhaps not likely, with the low overall and low 'max mile' gradient.) Expect some flatwater paddling across very lake-like areas as well, but most appear to have good rapids leading in and/or out of them! So . . . have you ever boated this? Help out your fellow boater with a comment (Below) or a report (with photos/video?). Let us know if this is good or not, beginners or intermediates or ?
