How long is it?

I am going to float from whitewater to paces mill on Sat. Is that about a 2 hour float in a float tube? SHould I take my flippers? Last question: what are directions from paces mill to ww? thanks

I wouldn't call it a "float". A tube could be very usefull for parts of this stretch, but not neceasary. If you don't stop to fish you could easily float down in 1/2 hour. There are so many fish in there though that you need to stop and work some areas slow, so plan on more time. You would need to take harris trail back to mt paran and go back under the interstate, then go south on 41 to get back to paces mill. Look at the "maps" link on your left

i wouldnt worry about driving to whitewater. i usually park at paces mill and walk down the trail as far as i can stand it until i just have to get in the water and catch some fishies. i usually walk under the 75 bridge, past whitewater and around the bend (about a mile). the trail is very flat and wide through this area which makes it easy to carry a tube and rod. as for flippers i have never tried them becouse the water is very low at points and i consider white water to be some of the toughest wading so it might be difficult to walk with flippers. if you want to strech the float try a small barbell (1-5 pounds) on a rope to slow you down or stop you in good areas. hope that helps, enjoy your float

Sounds fun. Caddis' were being picked off by the dozens on Sunday for a good two hour or so stretch at PM.

I'm in.

Hey Braz do you sell those grills you had at the Frostbite? That was a neat contraption. I am interested if you do sell them. By the way, that is the very same, aptly named SnowPee.........
