My son and I floated Elk River last week and it was a beautiful trip, although there was virtually no current. We didn't paddle very much in the beginning, but toward the end we picked up the pace. It took us about three and a half hours to travel four miles and someone told me they did it in an hour when the current was moving. I wouldn't want to go that fast, I kind of enjoyed the peace and quiet, but a little help would have been appreciated. Just spending time with my nine year old son was the best part of the trip. We don't get to have as many of these excursions as we both would like.
