To circumnavigate, follow the back channel of Mosenthein and enjoy the pristine sand bars. Follow the cut bank to the bottom end and come around. Paddle along Mosenthein Island upstream, using the eddies and slack water created by the wing dikes. To cross the wing dikes, choose a suitable breach in the rocks and Paddle Hard! With good strong and rapid strokes as well as a couple of good stern moves, you can climb above the dike and into another stretch of eddy. Continue this route until you are back at the top of the island.
The final maneuver involves using the eddies created by the wing dikes, the same ones you crossed over to get to the back channel. Continue to move upstream until you are above parallel with the North Riverfront Park Boat Access, then Paddle Hard! and ferry cross to the best landing available. |
