Description

MnktoDave reports that there is a dam at this location which they found fairly easy to portage.

Nonetheless, we would highly recommend scouting (while running shuttle, before putting in to run this section of river) to be aware of conditions leading into this dam.

An added benefit is that there is apparently a stick-gauge at this location, so it would be handy to check that for water level before you put-on, especially since the 'reference gauge' (on the Bois Brule) may not always correlate well to flows here.
