Kayaking (dagger 11) 3:30:27 [3] 12.96 mi (16:14 / mi)
on the N fork of the Eau Claire river from Hamilton Falls to cty G /troubled water bridge
a total of 2" rain had passed through the area June 11 - 13 so the river was up quite high (about same as trip in August 2016 ). Nearby flows (next watershed East) were Black River at Neillsville 3000 cfs , E Fork of Black 892.6 ft
Hamilton Falls were impressive and water high.
Shipped water at very first rapid and had to pump out. Partial log jam at mile 2.75 . Big rapids ~300y above Channey bridge were wild and shipped a large amount of water so had to exit and major pump out .
clear skies sunny warm day with strong W breezes. Nobody else about didn't even hear any ATV's in the forest. Several eagles hanging around on the river.
