Description
This long stretch is flatwater, punctuated by numerous shoals, a few ledge/waves, and a couple dams. Caution may be required around dams as they may form uniform hydraulics at many flows. (Scout, and be prepared to portage.) Various alternate access points allow trips of varying lengths. As well, the best feature(s) may readily be done as park-and-play.
