Description

This upper stretch of the Poplar is (roughly) 2 miles at 50+FPM, 2 miles at just 16FPM, then it finishes with nearly a mile at 86FPM! This is not likely to be 'hair boating', but looks to be very worthwhile. So . . . has anyone explored this run? Help out your fellow boaters by adding a comment below, or (better yet) add a report with photos or video! At the listed put-in, drainage is about 30 square miles, so it will take peak spring melt and/or good rains to make boatable flows, and it's not likely to flow too many days in a row. However, if you were hoping for some other runs in the area, and find them too high, this could be a very worthwhile alternative. (It is not known how passable the access roads are for early-spring.)
