Description
Put-in at Alder Brook Road (as given by coordinates below) or continue upstream to Olmsteadville on Minerva Stream (43.7730, -73.9322) and check possibility of adding a bit to the run. (Makes a 6 mile run at 54FPM average.) I will add more later but right now I just wanted to give a warning that about half way down the river is an 8 foot waterfall that, although runnable in itself, is not runnable because just after the waterfall the river goes underground for about 100 yards. Please be careful if you choose to travel this river because if you get too close to the falls you WILL die. You will know that you are getting close to the falls if you hear the roar and notice a sharp bend to the right. Portage is on the right. Eastern Adirondacks Reaches Ausable, E. Branch Ausable, W.
