Navigating the Portage River

[branhamautomotive]

The bridge has no schedule, you have to call and wait till there is enough space on the tracks to open. But there is decent clearance under it. Almost as much as the main bridge downtown.

There is no channel markers, and there is no worry about speed limits. The water been up fairly high so on aver there is no issue on depth. I can run my 27fter and bravo3 on plane with no issues. I like get up on plane right away under the train bridge, still 10ft or so.

There is a long stuck right in the middle of what would be the area most would run......right in the middle of the river, it's only about 1/8 if the way to the rt 2 bridge......I stay towards the northern 1/4 of the river feel it's deeper.

There is another log getting toward the rt 2 bridge, I would say 7/8th of the way there again in the area where most would angle to go under rt 2. Neither of these stick way out, but normally it's flat enough they area easily seen.

But remember it's a river and stuff washes down it all the time and any and everything can change at any time.
