Title: Re: Deux Rivieres... A "Two Hour Mud Slog"??? Post by Mad_Mat on Jun 15th, 2011 at 1:28pm
traveled downstream on Diuex Rivieres on May 30th. Water was a little low (down 6" or maybe 12"), but plenty deep enough. Did have to get out on 2 or 3 beaver dams and pull over them since they were up out of the water already, - much more so than in past trips thru there at same time of year where I've generally paddled over all or most of those same dams.
I'd given some thought to travelling Oriana cr to Hamburg, rather than Jesse on our way out, but thinking about the lower water levels we encountered, decided to go thru Jesse. Of all the lakes we paddled, Jesse was one of only two that were not low - Beaver dam at the little rapid at west end (now need to portage there on the big flat rock) had Jesse topped off to full, and maybe an inch or two above as a few trees were starting to turn brown. this is difinitely a year to pay attention to low water warnings, unless there is some really substantial rains for a period of time. |
