Description

"JP" provides:

There is a dam just before Jessups Mill (with "no portage", according to the guy who works at the mill).

Aerial views (via Google Maps) show a small dirt road by riverleft just above the dam that looks like it could be used for take out and/or portage, although it lies within private property. It's also important to note that there is no take out at Jessups Mill due to it being downstream of the dam.

This could possibly lead to issues.
