This isn’t in the BWCA in fact it’s on the other side of MN but the river is running high right now and would be a very good paddle now.
At the present the gauge at Red Lake Falls is at 12.8’, that is a very good level and the whitewater would be class 2.
At Red Lake Falls it cuts through clay bluff 100’ high. It has rock garden rapids that mostly are easily paddled. The leaves are getting close to prime here and it would be great trip.
Saturday and Sunday look good. Let me know if you are interested.
This is not the muddy Red River it is sand bottom and the water is clean enough to swim in.

This is a good idea. The rivers in the rest of the state are mostly low. Fall paddling on a river can be breathtakingly beautiful. I wish I had the time to go give the Red Lake River a try.
