Description
From twistedpfister on boatertalk: We paddled down to the falls and boat lowered with a rope. Below the falls is a short stretch which is LVM quality. Hard, congested with lumber, and steep as hell - the next 300 yards are 5+. Then its about a half mile which includes 8-10 IV-V drops (including a clean 35? footer). Then is flattens out a bit with the last half mile class 3. The whole thing drops close to 800 feet for only about 1.4 miles. Big Bradley Falls (the BIG portage) of course eats up about 150 of those feet. Im gonna do it again with more water/light. When we got to the Green, we had to paddle out with a headlamp ... BP
