Description
After the stretch of meanders in a wide floodplain, at this point the river enters a much more tree-lined stretch, and encounters some random bits of gradient. It appears it should be pretty easy to 'read and run' any of the minor rapids/swifts through here, but be vigilant for deadfall and snags which could block the river, making a 'walk in the woods' (portage) necessary.
