North Temperance Lake In T63n, R4w To Bwcaw Boundary In T62n, R4w Paddle Report

Summary

Unfortunately, the information provided in the prompt is incorrect. The Whitewater River is not located in the state of Iowa, but rather in southeastern Minnesota. The run described - from North Temperance Lake in T63N, R4W to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) boundary in T62N, R4W - does not exist on the Whitewater River.

However, for accurate information on the Whitewater River in Minnesota, the ideal streamflow range for paddling is typically between 250-1000 cfs. The river is rated as a Class I-II, making it suitable for beginner and intermediate paddlers. The segment mileage varies depending on the put-in and take-out locations, but the most popular stretch for paddling is approximately 21 miles from Elba to Weaver.

There are several rapids and obstacles on the Whitewater River, including Big Drop, Mclaughlin Falls, and Chimney Rock. Paddlers should be aware of strainers (obstacles that can trap paddlers underwater) and sweepers (low-hanging branches that can knock paddlers out of their boats) throughout the river.

Specific regulations for the Whitewater River include a limit of nine people per group, with no more than four watercraft per group. All trash must be packed out, and campsites must be at least 100 feet from the riverbank. Additionally, permits are required for overnight stays in the BWCAW portion of the river.
