Description

The prior rapids ends in a ponded area just after a clearing where powerlines cross, and a private residence sits river-right. As the river bends to the right out of the pooling, it appears to trip across one final ledge into the final pool (still the Echo River, but at this point essentially a bay of Crane Lake). Depending on river flow and lake elevation, this may provide some play opportunities, or may be completely negligible.

Egress (take-out) may be possible at many points along the next half-mile of river, though some may involve private property (and thereby necessitate obtaining permission). The indicated/listed take-out is at a resort, which may also involve permission, or (at the least) patronizing the establishment (Nelson's Resort).
