Description

Portage river left to scout your line. At higher water it might be worth putting in below due to the significant hydraulic that covers all but the far left ledge. The following rapids are the best of the whole river, lasting about a quarter mile. Just below the bridge there are some diagonal waves to watch out for just below the final drop.
