This info is from a FB group:

I'm truly shocked they did so much clearing on what I though was a "Wilderness Experience Area".

17 Run is now a definite beginner friendly paddle, and the white signs on both ends can basically be disregarded, they read "River Advisory Warning, Experienced Paddlers Only, 17 Runs - Treacherous Navigation, Next Takeout 5 Hours Ahead, Numerous Obstacles and Portages Next 6 Miles"

You can now do it and just a few hours one way with absolutely no portages or much navigation skill required.  It's still a beautiful run just a little disappointed it was done this way.
