To confirm - and to add to - Jon's comments about the stretch from Metig to Greenbush:

We came east from Greenbush in late August 2023 with low water conditions. We could not find the portage mentioned in Todd's 2018 video so stayed with the river. &nbsp;We lined the top, were able to float a bit of the middle, and then spent quite some time dealing with the bottom set of rapids. &nbsp;We each put a canoe pack on and dragged our canoe through this section. &nbsp;We spent about 90 minutes getting from Greenbush to Little Metig. &nbsp;It must have taken Jon much longer to move upriver!

Once on Little Metig we paddled over to the marked campsite, figuring the portage trail would be nearby. &nbsp;After walking down a couple of dead end trails, we paddled up along the shore looking for the longer portage trail. &nbsp;After a half hour we gave up and stopped for lunch at the campsite. &nbsp;Behind it is a garbage dump left by locals, who would seem to make regular use of this site, perhaps for net fishing. &nbsp;

With lunch done, we figured we were in for a repeat of the morning's slog. Amazingly, we were in Metig Lake within five minutes. It had been an easy C1 float down! &nbsp;
