Description
If permission can be obtained to park and carry out to the private property at the end of FR678, there may be some merit in extending your run down to this point. You would probably wish to walk down to the river to have a good visual (maybe even tie a 'flag' of some sort to a tree, if there is no other distinguishing feature to ensure you don't miss your take-out). Absent that permission, downstream of this point it's two full miles to the next road crossing, and you'd find two very minor rapids/swifts and otherwise nothing but flatwater as the river meanders in broad floodplain (with many oxbow lakes in evidence).
