Rotary Park (Alternative Take-out)
Save this feature with the run it belongs to.
Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 200.0 – 750.0 CFS
Almost certainly too low (but you could check its stick-gauge for possible low-water minimums). (Stick-gauge under 13.9' is a total scrape.)

Description
A final option (especially if someone had a yard sale (swam) and group members had to give chase to boat(s) and paddle(s), which are likely to make it all the way to the lake/harbor) is to paddle to the area of huge quarry rock.
It will be awkward to empty water from boats (if need be), and awkward to climb up the rocks. A bonus here is a public restroom, located by the corner of the harbor area (separate from and behind the Duluth Trading Company building).
