7/8/2023 - Black River, Littlerock, WA

Time: 3.18 hours

Distance: 10.06 miles

We put into Black River from a small boat ramp just outside of Littlerock. We'd been warned previously that the river was blocked upriver within about a mile of the put-in so we started down-river instead. The day was sunny and warm with a slight breeze and we only encountered a few other paddlers. The water was extremely calm with almost no discernible current and no sign of houses or buildings for the entire trip. An easy paddle was a great way to end our vacation.
