White Trout to Grassy Bay into McIntosh

Has anyone paddled east to west from Grassy Bay up against the McIntosh Creek to McIntosh Lake?

​I'm curious how difficult this stretch is during high water spring levels to paddle against.

​Thanks for any input.

I paddled that section west to east in mid-June two years ago, and the current was calm.  I don't think it would be difficult going east to west even in high water.

I've paddled it before shortly after ice out. No current to speak of, so no worries there. Grassy bay can be quite the wind tunnel at any time of year when the wind is up, however.

Early may last spring the water was too high to permit upriver travel on the Petawawa out of Grassy Bay, so I re-routed via Mckintosh to get to my car parked at Magnetawan Access.  No problems coming up the creek even during very high water. And above Misty, pretty tame flow even in high water.

Thanks.  appreciate much.  So much re-routing lately, this helps.
