This section is a wild and wooly swampy part of the river with very few exit options in an emergency, thus it is recommended for experienced and intermediate boaters only.
Throw-In opportunities are found at bridge crossings that do not have public landings. The land within a few feet of either side of a bridge is known as the right-of-way and is considered public, but along both sides of the river adjacent to a bridge throw-in, the land is privately owned. One needs to be careful as you launch your boat to stay within the right-of-way and not to trespass on private land. It is also best not to park along the side of the road, instead please get someone to leave you and your gear at the bridge.

On this section of the river one will encounter many opportunities to choose a route along some of the more swampy areas. When one encounters more than one path, look for the stream with the darkest color, deeper water, and fastest current. One still may need to walk the boat or portage over or around an obstacle.
