All distances listed are 'upstream, from mouth' (rather than the usual 'downstream, from listed put-in'). Since early-season runs will likely be from someplace short of the listed put-in (due to roads being impassible), this method should make it more straightforward to determine the length of your available run.

The description (and the following list) mentions various bridges, which are usually counted as you drive up County Road 606/Huron Bay Grade (I.E., as you head upriver). Note that this bridge count does NOT include bridges on sideroads. Thus, as you head downriver, your bridge count will be different than the bridge count on your drive up. There may be additional sideroad or driveway bridges which are not listed here. Therefore do NOT rely on counting bridges (on your way downstream) to determine your progress toward (or arrival at) your intended take-out.

At (above) this point, the stream is quite small and generally (at least, via satellite photos, appears to be) meandering through open meadows. Below this point it starts to pick up some gradient, thus, this is the highest suggested put-in. However (as noted in the main description) early spring runs will usually find the road impassible someplace short of this point, making shorter runs necessary.

Gradient upstream of this bridge (for quite a distance) is quite low. We find it hard to recommend any put-in (for whitewater boaters) above this point. (This bridge appears to be at the 545 meter contour on the topo maps, or about 1788'.)

This bridge appears to be just downstream of the 1600' contour line on the topo maps.

As discernable from Google's satellite views, it does not appear that there are any discernable rapids downstream of this bridge. Thus, if parking and river access are convenient here, this may make a better take-out than paddling the remaining distance to Highway 41.
