Continue down Knights Brook to Serpentine Lake. Cross 550 fpm

the lake to the southeast. There is an overgrown logging 550 fpm

road on the south side of the brook here and it is easy

walking up to the Serpentine Lake Road. You could also

get Wayne Stratton (789-2935) to pick you up here. He

runs a fishing lodge on the lake and is a great guy (it'll

cost a couple of bucks). If you do this river in three days

there are awesome views and campsites on this 10 km

lake. Park at the west end of the lake at the end of the

This is a nightmare. The co-ordinates are for a 2 km hike

from hell up a small brook to the east. This eventually

intersects a logging road at . The logging road is

accessed from Logger School Road. The pulp mill in

Cornerbrook has maps of the old loggin roads, but this

road was built in 2002 and isn't on the map. I'll try and get

good directions in a bit. The hike begins just as the

gradient and character of the brook changes dramitically.

You'll think there is no more good whitewater.
