Description
Rapids are a long, tight stretch (2,138 feet) of 8 separate rocky runs. Between the 4th and 5th run the river has been blocked by deadfalls for several years. Portage around the blockage is on the right, without trail, and is wading, and picking your way through a slightly flowing swamp/rocky land area.
