Description
This short section contains four big drops: Nawadaha, Manido, Manabezho, and Swinging Bridge (along with a few lesser drops). All can be run by confident, experienced paddlers. All others will enjoy the impressive views (perhaps before or after running some upper reaches of this river). The following video gives a good view of the drops on this run at ~550 cfs: https://youtu.be/\_lU-Z5t2\_bw
