That lean-to is actually at a place called Griffin Rapids, about 1/2 way to High falls. The water was about 3-4 ft higher than it should have been at this time of year and that little river was MOVING! we literally were rowing right over the submerged beaver dams. My buddy put the bread crumb trail thingy on his GPS coming out to see just how far we rowed. It was 3 miles as the crow flies, but 4.75 miles by water due to all the oxbows. It took us 3 1/2 hours to get to this spot and we decided not to push on to High Falls. We were basically the only people for 5+ miles while we were there. My only regret was not bringing a fly rod. Here's a couple more for ya.

They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
