Description
The Mouth of the Lester is a rugged Lake Superior shoreline feature with potential for dynamic wave conditions during high water periods. Paddlers should be prepared for abrupt transitions between calm water and potentially turbulent wave sets, with careful attention to shoreline rocks and potential hydraulic features near the river's discharge point. Advanced local knowledge and strong river reading skills are recommended due to the unpredictable nature of this Lake Superior tributary environment.
