York River... I wanted to get on this river for a while.
We started in Egan Chutes P.P. and paddled upstream. At the bridge it splits and we took the left (Egan Creek). Very nice.
We turned around when we reached a kind of a delta, not really passable.
First portage was around Egan Chute. Not a big problem, a little steep at the end.
After a short paddle we reached Middle Chute. Another portage and the only people around were a father and his son on a day trip.
Not far was a log jam that we had to portage. We didn't expect this. Just a short paddle downstream and we got to Farm Chute.
What it really surprised me was the steepness of the portage, never encountered anything like this so far. But it was well worth it, complete isolation, only us and the deer flies keeping us company.
Not a boring trip, that's for sure...
