Guts & Glory

After several miles of flatwater, the river tilts noticably downward. After about a mile of class III fun, there is a large eddy on river left. You may want to catch the eddy and catch your breath; this is where the nonstop class IV action begins. The river is steeper and twisting from here to the Northwoods Club bridge. Swimming is to be avoided.

   The name was originally coined by Dennis Squires, who wrote a whitewater guidebook and perished on a river in New Zealand.
