I've got a trip coming up in a couple of weeks that has me headed up the Crow River from Lavieille to Big Crow. 2-3 years ago I did this same stretch in the opposite direction in mid-July, and remember having a fair number of times I had to get out and drag. Once beyond the 1220m portage water levels were fine, it was the section right near Big Crow that was the issue.
This year I think water levels are quite low overall. Should I be concerned I might be walking the entire upper part of the Crow River?

Hi,
I did this stretch in the fall of 2018 part of a 10 day solo. I was going the opposite direction as you. (With the current) I did utilize all the portages but at no point did I have to get out of the canoe and drag. Not sure what the water levels are like this year versus 2 years ago. I loved the area, and will be planning a return again this fall. Hope you have a wonderful trip! and if you like brook trout that's a good area to fish.

Did that as part of an August trip 4 or 5 years ago. Don't recall any issues with that section. It was a higher water year though
