The Refuge Bridge trip is our longest trip and is good for experienced paddlers. You are transported up-river to the launch site and then canoe or kayak down a very curvy and wooded section of the river, portage around the Mongo Dam, and eventually back to the Trading Post. This is an excellent all day trip, so bring some snacks and enjoy the adventure! (13 miles, approximately 4.5 – 5.5 hours.)
