General Comments | ||
| An easy "first trip". the Black River is calm and a god place to get organized, if new to paddling.
Raven can be windy and travel is cross wind. The portage to Gunn is well marked but the boardwalk over the marsh is in bad shape. Watch your footing. An extra day can be spend in Gunn to visit and play in Fairy Falls and explore into Ernest and beyond. Travelled in 1999 and 2000. | ||
