Description
Just before the take-out, the East Branch encounters the Middle Branch Ontonagon. This confluence of currents creates squirt-boating opportunities.
Even in summer, this can provide some fine exercise for stalls and squirts. At such times, you can forego the full run, just park at the take-out (Military Hills Roadside Park). From there you can either put-in to paddle upstream ~200 yards --- OR --- carry northeast into the woods from the northeast end of the park to put-in and run about a quarter-mile rapids/shoals down to the confluence.
