Klusha Creek Enters Nordenskiold River Left to Right

The grass flow in Klusha Creek looks like it is flowing to the left, but the brown water of the Nordenskiold curves around the bend in the middle from left to right. From here on the water is a little murky.

Section Four: Klusha Creek & Nordenskiold River. Twin Lakes to Flower Mountain Take-out.

I couldn't find any information of previous attempts to paddle this river system and I doubt many have, as the water level is quite low. This means dragging the boat behind for long stretches, climbing over numerous log jams and beaver dams, and diving under overhanging brush and sweepers. There were some really bad obstructions between Twin Lakes and the confluence of Kirkland Creek. The Nordenskiold enters almost unnoticable from the left bringing brown silty water to the clear Klusha. After Kirkland Creek the river [Nordenskiold] turns to a nice woodland river with almost non obstructions and the water quality improves.
