    I have never been out of this access.
    How is the current depth and can you navigate north up to the High bridge area with plenty of water?
    I assume that you can run south towards Hudson without any issues??
    Any feedback is appreciated

    It is very shallow right now. Use caution while navigating to the main river channel.

    Go downstream to go upstream, get past the islands on wi side, then head upstream past the islands on the wi side of islands. You should hug those islands closely. Upstream of there you can use general river knowledge to stay off sandbars.

    There’s some deadheads near the landing fyi.

    Regarding the high bridge. A YOU CANNOT NAVIGATE NORTH OF THERE. IT IS ILLEGAL! Bridge clearly marked as such.

    I.e. 5 miles upstream of boomsite is all you can legally travel upstream.

    Enjoy your trip. I’ve spent many nights sleeping in that 5 mile stretch. Good scenery!
