Gull River Scouting mission Saturday, August 16, 2008 route: length: 1 day difficulty: intermediate organizer: Keith participants: Keith Nunn, report: Made a number of stops following up Jeff's info about other paddling spots in the area.  I also stopped at the MWWP to paddle for a bit. Stops: Elliot Falls (Hwy 35) Moore Falls Minden Wild Water Preserve Hart Lodge Trails (Hwy 35) West Guildford (Hwy 118) Cranberry Lake Rd. (At Cty. Rd. 6) Eagle Lake (Cty. Rd. 6 and Eagle Lake Road) Elliot Falls dam doesn't look runnable swirly outflow, but nothing too crazy ragged ledge to finish not really viable for canoeists and not enought going on wave or hole-wise for play anyway  Moore Falls two dams and two bridges east dam upstream of south Hwy 35 bridge  west dam downstream of north Hwy 35 bridge both dams runnable, but east dam has logs set just above gunwhale height so serious deck-kissing would be required There's a gas bar for sale across the bay on Hwy 35. It has water access, a dock and a large builing on the highway. Anyone interested? there are a number of eddies and clear eddy lines that would make these two dams pretty good areas for teaching at the water levels I saw (high at theMWWP--8.6) best access for trailers and parking is off Pacific Road (Goolgle has it as Lutterworth Park Drive).  There is a park at the end of the road.  The shore is pretty overgrown, but it is possible to get to the water.  There is a loop for turning trailers around. Google Maps link Minden Wild Water Preserve What more needs to be said?  It's great. Unfortunately not very beginner friendly anywhere but the washout. Hart Lodge Trails Hwy 35 + #20 4 eddies, class 1 left side of dam is runnable.  Some interesting waves below right side. Some parking on Taylor Rd.  Google Maps link West Guilford riffles, nice beach, decent looking pizza joint probably not worth the stop unless you're looking for a swim or Pizza on the way to Eagle Lake Cranberry Lake slow water, no parking Eagle Lake Public park and parking nasty toilets with no paper picnic shelter dam is runnable (class 3) culvert under Haliburton Lake Road is passable (no grate), but may require ducking some roadside parking at take out downstream on #6 shuttle is about 2km rapid near the end of the run has a rope across it.  May be high enough, but couldn't tell for sure because I was so far away (700m. land for sale across the road from take out. what I could see of the river would give it a class 2 or 3.
