Missed the canoe maybe it has been removed and yeah we were told 3-4 hr drift or 1.5 hrs to row through , my behind try on the water at 10 am drifting with one very short lunch stop finally reached elkton at 7pm had so much fun catchin those smallies barely noticed . got a bit too much sun but survived! Think the big K ranch is right across and below the slide hole put in , think you caught the big one there TT.

CAn you put in at The Big K Ranch? I bet that was a fun paddle in the dark with the occasional boulder sticking up out of the water or sitting just below the surface. lol. I missed the canoe. lol How about you FP?

Haha Luckily I have an extremely bright light that clips to my hat so I could see alright, so long as I have enough batteries for it (which I barely didn't, they only last two hours a set). I remember just rowing and rowing and rowing thinking "Two hours my ASS" haha... The thing was I didn't know the river and there are some knarly drops just up river that I had been going over for two days. The one that is right before the slide hole is like a 700 yard long chute barely wide enough for a drift boat with big boulders you have to S around and logs and everything, vertical wall the entire 700 yards... The first time I went through the guy I was with didn't even want to try it. He wanted to portage it. So I didn't know WHAT the hell I was getting into in the middle of the night. I would come up on those few little rapids but just hear WWWWOOOOOSSSHHHH off in the distance and be like "Oh. God." haha but it was all good haha...

This is where I put in.

Google Maps

You can put in at the Ranch but their land use fee is steep, naturally, as it's a resort.
