FS5306 (off Bond Falls Road) to Choate Road (6.06 miles)

Ever been to Bond Falls and walked all along the river between the main drop and the main dam upstream? Did you look closely to see all the short cement 'spreader dams'? (My term for them.) Even when there is fairly substantial flow coming into Bond Flowage, there tends to be only minimal flow released down the historic river channel ... just enough for tourists to enjoy the falls. (And without the 'spreaders', these low flows would course much differently ... much more of the width of the falls would be dry!) But, then, where does the rest of the water in Bond Flowage go? It is diverted via a short canal into Roselawn Creek, flowing into Bluff Creek, and then (miles and mile later) into the W.Br.Ontonagon ... eventually to provide more water for the Victoria Falls Hydro plant! (NOTE: This is much like the Paint River above Horserace Rapids, which is diverted via a canal over to Peavy Pond on the Michigamme River, to provide more available water for a hydro plant there.) As a result, this relatively small U.P. creek will have water when nearly everything else is too low to boat! (At least some representations have suggested that this is 'always boatable'!) Unfortunately, the gradient is not big, and there do not appear to be any notable drops (at least, not visible on aerial views), but we've heard there are folks who have paddled this. Anybody got any details? Worth doing? Any rapids worth naming? Help your fellow boaters by adding a comment below!
