Description
The S Br Peme is a short run that may serve well as a "chaser" to a day of paddling due to it's easy access from Hwy 141/8 in Pembine. The upper portion of this reach from the Hwy 141/8 bridge (center of three) in Pembine contains some smaller drops for a warm-up before the main drop is reached. (This is a smaller stream, so one will likely encounter deadfall.) Many boaters are likely to just 'park-and-huck' the main drop which we refer to as "Kremlin Falls" (though we are unaware if there may be some other local name for this drop). The entrance to this drop is right at the Kremlin Rd bridge as the river drops about 50' in the next 1/3 mile. The current picks up through class II boulderbed, then becomes more complicated to climax with an angled falls of perhaps 10' in a narrow constriction. Class II run-out takes you from immediately below the falls until past the railway bridge. The drop can be scouted or spectated from the railway on river right, which boaters will use to carry about 0.2 miles back to vehicle(s) at Kremlin Rd. This may pair well with its sister reach on the N Br Pemebonwon located 10-15 minutes north, or with various runs of the Pike, within a half-hour to the South or SouthWest.

Shuttle Info
Most boaters (if they bother with this at all) will just do this as a 'park-and-huck', carrying back to their vehicle. Those who opt for the 'full run' may utilize the given shuttle routing. Many may prefer putting-in from under Hwy.141 at Crain Lane. Use map to work out the easy shuttle for that shortened run.
