No description

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

A scrubby bush-bash is required between Lake Cadman and Lake Cove. The terrain is complex with multiple old lake outflow channels running east-west to cross.

Launch sites on the Lake Cove shore were none-existent - they may exist back up the river towards Cora Lynn Falls but otherwise this is a steep scrubby shore where access to the water is easy enough but space to prepare & launch a raft is tricky to find. At least 1 party has swum Lake Cove at the narrowest point.
