Description
An oft overlooked early season/high water run with a fair amount of light boulderbed rapids interspersed with two larger drops. We thank Jake for providing the following (slightly edited) info via the comments section: ##### Jake Ring ###### Nov 20, 2020 * * * Paddled from Duck Dam (the listed put-in here), all 60 miles to the Namekagon. _High Falls_ is the first of 3 larger named rapids. The 2nd largest is _Buck Falls_, a sloping slide with a piton rock in the pool, very runnable but avoid the rock by riding the slide from left to slightly right. The last named one is called _Small Falls_ and is smaller than the other 2, but larger than the rest of the rapids you'll encounter. After Colton Falls the entire river slows down and there are 2.5 million trees to portage over the next 30 miles ... _don't do it!_ After the Minong Flowage dam there are 19 miles of lazy river with great northwoods scenery and no portages all the way to the Namekagon.
