Run description:

This is one of the best runs on the island. It has everything from steep boulder gardens to big bedrock drops. The run is pool-drop and most drops are walkable. There is one mandatory
class 4+ drop that is hard to scout. Most paddlers walk one drop. The portage is over a rock island in the middle of the river.
The Middle Run is often combined with the Upper Run and sometimes with the Lower run.
