A chilly day, a shortened paddle due to the current strength , but an unexpected discovery- Great Falls, a seriously impresive set of falls , just downstream from the launch.

| A little upstream from here, on the bend, the current grew too strong to make headway Too much snow on the banks for portaging, so this is where I turned around. |
 |
| Adjacent to the launch- another pavilion |

| The falls are just past this bridge |

| Footbridge |

| Ice build up on my paddle on return to the landing |
