Description

We have no specific knowledge of runs on this creek (brook). On one U.P. visit, I happened to swing by to check it out, and found it near runnable conditions. Unfortunately, daylight was quickly waning, and there was not time and daylight enough for a safe run down it. Size (and drainage area) is adequate at listed put-in, but with such a small intimate creek, any deadfall or other obstruction may be difficult to deal with, particularly at moderate or high flows. Caution is needed at take-out, as there is a dam/weir just downstream of the road bridge. Anyone having more specific knowledge or awareness of this run is encouraged to add a comment or report.
