Description

This is an upper reach of a tributary of the Peshtigo. USGS lists a one-time sampling site near Blackwell and lists drainage at that site as 47 square miles, which should be sufficient to create runnable flows at least a good handful of days a year. There are a good number of rapids marked on topo maps. Gradient is not high, so it's likely to entail a fair amount of flatwater paddling. Satellite view appears to show adequate size and (generally, best I can tell) a fairly open (unobstructed) stream. Alternate access points may be necessary, making longer (or possibly shorter) trips. On some maps, this appears to be marked as entirely (or at least mostly) within Potowotomi Indian Reservation, which may affect legality of access. So . . . anyone ever explore this reach? Add a comment or report of your findings! If it was not worth it save someone the brutality of the exploration, or (if it was) let folks know about a worthwhile 'discovery'!
