Description
Earlier guides mention Railroad Rapids downriver from Old Hwy 139. However, from Old 139 to the old railway bridge (now rails to trails) is nearly 1.25 mile long tangle of alders that requires more dragging than floating. Minimize the hassle by taking out at Old 139 and continuing from a Putin near Hwy 139.
