Description

A much less paddled section due to the lack of significant rapids and its being a quite long reach. This stretch of river is much less spectacular than the lower 'canyon' section, and contains no large falls like the upper section. A shorter trip is possible (and advised for low-water runs) using the West Fork take-out on Hwy.2 as the put-in. Our put-in at Nylund Road (A.K.A. Town Road 0028, and formerly labeled here as Erickson Road, though I can find no online reference to anything by that name) is mostly for continuity with the upper section. Virtually throughout this reach, you'll find low-grade, read-and-run rapids, interspersing flat/flowing water.
