Anything noteworthy?
This is easily one of the prettiest streams in the area, and it doesn't require a permit, like the sections of the Pine that are further downstream. We all needed to pay careful attention to our river-reading skills, since there were numerous rocks to avoid and a few downed trees to slide underneath. It was really quiet with only 5 of us. We all spotted several deer, plus a bald eagle perched on a dead birch tree. We'll be back!
