37 - 5/28/2011 - Upper Sauk

Bedal Campground is on the NF Sauk, and it's the put-in for the Upper Sauk run. This year I reserved a couple of prime sites on the river for Memorial Day weekend. The weather is typically drizzly and cloudy on Memorial Day weekend, and this year was no different.

We had a group of 6 boats: 3 cats, a raft, and 2 IKs. The run was the cleanest I've seen in years. All of the large logjam corners had open channels. The one place that we used to have to portage just about every year was completely clean.

In the afternoon after the run, some of us hiked up to see the NF Sauk Falls, which is a 50' waterfall in a narrow gorge. It was spectacular!
