Rapid MI

First Gradient

Sturgeon (Baraga) - A) Nestoria Herman Road to bushwack singletrack (3.6 miles) (MI)

Gauge Conditions

Sturgeon River near Sidnaw, MI Downstream Primary

Runnable: 2,000.0 – 5,000.0 CFS

Almost certainly too low for whitewater in areas of gradient. Likely less than 100 cfs. (Can be paddled as flatwater, with portage/drag across gradient.)

Data from American Whitewater & USGS

Description

After a mile-and-a-half (more or less, depending upon how many meanders you can cut off), finally some welcome gradient, even if it's only a quick chute, perhaps followed by minor wave train.
