Assuming Black River is our best option (45 minutes from Silvermines). Based on river access points, it looks like we’ll need to work with a livery/campground to have a 5-6 mile float. Most places will charge $15-20 for portaging private boats; $40-46 for canoe rental. Looking for recommendations & thoughts. Please weigh in here.

FYI – In 2004 & 2005, the MWA Picnic was at BearCats on the Black River.
