There is a river-wide log at the end of a straight stretch about 3/4 of a mile below the most
prominent class IV long rapid (about half way through the run). It looks as if you can sneak it on
river left, but at the last second you will find there is another log blocking this path as well.
Portage right!

This a great class III/IV run. No portage runs are common with the dam/falls at Scott's Mills
sometimes being portaged river left. There are some great play waves just downstream of the falls
at Scott's Mills.
