I just finished a 3 day trip from Baker's Crossing to the Natural area and can best describe the river as miraculous. The scenery was incredible, the fishing was the best I had ever experienced and the periodic rapids provided the adrenaline rush necessary to push you from one great fishing hole to the next. However, once you take out at the Natural area be prepared for an instantaneous let-down. At this point, you must haul what is left of your possessions 1.5 miles (by foot and up-hill) to the nearest parking area. Good luck contacting someone to unlock the gate for you (it isn't going to happen). Motorized vehicles aren't allowed in the park unless you are lucky enough to own one of the five keys that unlock the unmanned gate (assume only park ranger and local guide services have these). Pack light or you will be forced to make one trip to haul your supplies, walk 1.5 miles back (uphill again) and then walk 1.5 miles back hauling your canoe or kayak. I had the unfortunate experience of breaking two toes on the last set of rapids before embarking on the life-changing trek. In summation, the trip down the river is without equal; the trip from the river to your car in searing heat, with distorted appendages and hundreds of pounds of gear on your back may cause you to question the necessity of limited access.

I just returned from a 3-day excursion from Baker's Crossing to the Natural Area. No humans encountered for three days!!! The river was in great shape with water levels high enough to facilitate easy floating in kayaks. Few rapids sections require portaging; most are a fun challenge to shoot in kayaks. Smallmouth and black bass fishing was good to excellent (about 30 fish per day). You're on your own on this stretch of river - be careful and respect landowner's rights. Do not exit the river on private property (the entire 14-mile run).
