Description
The Grindstone merges into the Kettle River. All the gradient is spent, and it's a flatwater float the remaining distance to the take-out.
NOTE: there is discrepency (not just on this listing, but in general) between the software used by AW to calculate distances downriver, versus other means (E.G.,via GoogleMaps). GoogleMaps puts the confluence at 6.79 miles (rather than 6.55), and the take-out landing at 8.44 miles (meaning just 1.65 miles on the Kettle to the take-out).
