MAPLE CREEK! First Decent?




Has anyone ever been down this before? Please leave a comment and info.

There was more whitewater upstream of where we put in, but the water was a little low for that. There is no road access put in, hike in from the gate off Maple Creek road (1-2 mile hike). You will reach a private bridge over Maple Creek, then hike the bank up stream. Take out is an ATV trail just before the creek enters Lake Superior. Not sure if this land is public, a handful of locals we talked to hunting/fishing on the land were cool with us kayaking. We did not run into any "land owners". Level was low side of good.

Black River was at ~2700 cfs and falling when we put on.

Enjoy!
