Trip Overview

Really nice relaxing 7 mile yak trip with great scenery, the water was supper clear, and the river was deep enough that we really didn't have to worry about bottoming out most of the time. I never once had to get out of the yak, but I did have to pull the butt scooting maneuver a couple of times. lol. The trip does get a tinny bit tricky just before reaching the mill pond at the end as there are a couple paths that could lead to dead ends, And the mill pond was very shallow, and shallower and we might not have made it across!

Gear Notes

Two Lifetime 9s

Portage Notes

A couple of low tree "bridges" that we had to duck under but that was the worst of it.
