Anyone have any relatively current information on whether the Moosecamp River is paddle-able currently or an educated guess based on past experience? Considering a trip up to Moosecamp in a couple weeks and would love to do it as a loop from Mudro paddling between Fourtown and Moosecamp one of the ways.

Since you're not getting any better answers yet, I'll chip in that we went north on on the Moosecamp River on July 7 and ran into a couple groups coming south along the way. It was not completely navigable at the time, but we made it through in about 2 hours with occasional poking around for spots that were deep enough to paddle/push through. The area below the logging dam was extremely shallow for a couple hundred feet, and we had to just muck it for the last 50 feet. I haven't been paying attention to the weather up there, but if it hasn't been raining a lot then I think you can expect a real slog over much more of the river.

Thanks! Looks like a few inches of rain possible this weekend, so maybe a chance for us.
