1 week trip to the French River - aiming to hit some of the whitewater highlights.  We can collaboratively develop a complete itinerary prior to the French River booking window in February.  The preliminary plan includes: 

  • Put in Lodge at Pine Cove, run shuttle
  • Explore 5 mile rapids 1-2 days  (multiple class 2 rapids, all can be scouted/portaged)

It may also be possible to just come for the first weekend for the 5 mile rapids section, putting in and taking out at the Lodge at Pine Cove.
