rbd 796-791 Ashport Gold Dust Dikes

Extensive sandbars at medium and low water levels extending from a long chain of willow-topped island. At high water you can cut behind these islands through any number of openings, the first found at the base of Island 27. Follow your paddler’s bliss into a half-mile channel with smooth boiling bubbling laminar flow over a series of dikes and past clumps of forested bank sides and secluded sandbars and woody harbors.
