I'd think if any year you'd have good water levels it would be this year. I should connect you with Chuck from Spring Creek Outfitters... Now spring Creek manufacturing... He was bought out... But that is the creek their company was named for. His dad and group did that trip every year." We might do it in the spring, Lisa Adventure needs a little more training 1st, I would like to here about there trips through there.

It’s a bwca thing, based on his report and mine give it a shot if the water is high, otherwise expect some dragging canoes though mid. Easily the most wild section of bwca I’ve been in."Thanks, going give it a shot if waters up.

wrestlencanoe	07/25/2018 11:45AM The trip report by Porkeater may provide you with some information. I remember reading it last year. trip report
jwartman59	07/25/2018 11:13AM I did it about ten years ago. Water was very high. I was solo in a bell Yellowstone. You might not make it to a real campsite or even solid ground for a campsite. My only trip report mentions this trip. It recall someone else on this site doing this creek.
