Description

You should probably scout (before putting on) the place where Co.Rd.601 crosses, as there may not be adequate passage here. You'll want to know ahead of time what things look like, to be certain you will be either able to get through or able to safely get out to portage at this road, which crosses amid the aforementioned half-mile narrows. Additionally, just downstream, it appears there may be a private footbridge crossing the stream which you should check for adequate clearance. (You should be able to see it from the road.) This narrows/swifts continues a bit more than 0.1 mile downstream, but then peters out, and it's a good ways to the next rips, so *IF* this upper stretch is runnable, and you are looking for only the best gradient, this would be a good place to end your trip.
