I’ve paddled up the Russell river several times over the years, always as a tandem. We haven’t done the Staircase or the short portage but the short portage could be a lift over or lined. If you’re going in late summer or early Fall, water levels should not be an issue. 8-)

Good waldos at the top of the outflow in Russell. Also, behind the island at the bottom of the outflow. 8-)
