Island 97 is a nice sized island in the middle of the river. This island is somewhat spilt in 2 with its own channel. Has enough room for maybe 4-5 tents. Also has a log book and fire ring. This island also has a trail to the tip of the island on the down stream side you can get a great view. Be careful just upstream, the local ferry has built its own dam and it can be tricky to naviagate past it.
