River Description
Extended flatwater access paddle from hell: avoid trees, fences, and cows. The payoff? A
waterfall with fast bouldery run-out into smaller ledge, followed by a half mile of fun water (on
the grounds of private campground, Camp St. Claret). As of last check, the only access is via the
long paddle down, as listed here.

My buddy and paddled this stretch in July of 2007. The paddle in was brutal and the water was
too low to run the waterfall. Once we got to the falls we realized that if there enough water run
it, we would have died in the strainers above. The drop is beautiful however, and a real treat
for Northern Illinois.
