Expert paddler Mike Svob

He paddled more than a thousand miles to complete these books. Below
are brief descriptions of the canoe trips that Mike goes into detail
with in his books with maps. The maps are very useful, showing rapids,

Main Creek-Price
County-The trip on main creek is for
those that want solitude and good
fishung. The trip is very difficult
unless the levels are medium-high
or better. Wear hip boots or canvas
shoes in case you have to wade over
shallow areas. A few rapids are present
and none are hazardous. An average
trip from Conrath to Hwy. 194 bridge
takes about 4 hours, and longer if
fishing is done. Put in can be at
any of the road bridges and take out
at the Hwy. 194 bridge.The flowage
waters of Lake Holcombe reach upstream
almost a mile above the Hwy 194 bridge.A
heron rookery will be of special interest
to bird watchers. It can be reached
by taking one of the back channels
on the left below the Hwy. 194 bridge.
