Hello, i would like to scout this stream for a spring run. I need to know the best way to get to the Ducks Unlimited dam. I have a GPS if the coordinates are known. Also the Mines Road directions, thanks Steve

When we went last spring, the Mines Road was closed due to washouts, but we went in anyway, muscled our way through. I wonder what condition it is in now. The stretch below the Mines Road Bridge has a canyon with "unrunnable" drops.
I don't know the way into the DU Dam. there is another bridge farther upstream at the head of the meadows. It's flat water all the way to the DU Dam from there. Then there is more flat water, then a rock dam and rapids down to the Mines Bridge.

Thanks Ken. I went for a drive this morning and found the put in off the 785. The map software I have showed roads that lead to the Russel Dam which I assume is the DU dam. However the roads are grown in. There is a new Irving road 10 that seems to head in the right direction but I was'nt able to fully investigate because of time constraints. Next week I will try to get in there from the 770 Thanks Steve

One more thing, Steve. The bridge at the dam is decrepit, rotting so you can see the river between the floorboards. Don't expect to trust your vehicle on it.
