it could b broken into 3 sections, 1st uppermost section, is wayy off limits ,it goes through 2
hostile hunting clubs,..there r a few easy drops and high falls, (not that high), 2nd section
snowhill rd to resica falls, beautiful section but hard to put in without getting caught
trespassing, esp scouting snowhill falls, a double ledge falls, after that if u do get on it, its
pretty much boat scout-able the rest of the way till u get to another falls that can b run on the
right but watch out for the riverwide hole a few hundred feet past it, looks nasty, scout the
falls, but there is no way to know where they r so b wary to them and make sure u catch the last
must make eddy on river left... after that there is section 3 from the falls at resica which the
boyscouts give u grief if u scout them or portage around them, so the big hike through the woods
comes next to avoid the hassle ....and if u try to park down the road and do a hike in ....like
someone i know did, u might not have a car when u return! as the lovely boyscouts like to flex
there muscles and be pricks, the ret of the way is boat scout-able 3- fourish stuff to
209......have fun! 2500 is a real good level... lower then 2000 is a long day and bony as it
drops... hope that helps....

Not an advised reach because of 2 pretty much mandatory portages across heavily posted private
property.
