With the walleyes and whites running the Nolin river this time of year I have for some time fancied floating a canoe or kayak in the upper river. Bacon creek is an obvious put in spot but does anyone know a good take out down the river without paddling all of the way to wax? What about sportsmans paradise?

Further, looking at a map I am wondering about the stretch from wheelers mill down to broad ford or bacon creek. I have only hoofed a short distance above the broad ford bridge but have hoofed a good ways down and other than the big riffle below the bridge that looks like good float water but do the fish go up the river much past broad ford? A friend of mine said he thought the river between wheelers mill and broad ford was kind of knarly with rapids and such. Has anyone floated that section and for that matter is wheelers mill a decent place to set a canoe in the water?

Thanks ahead for any insights into this every spring daydream of mine...
