comments	I would remove "beginner" and "family" from this description. I have boated this many many times, kayaking (easy) and in a tandem boat (not easy). At moderate levels the waves in silo are easily 4 feet, and will swamp an open canoe quickly. On a cool day without wetsuits, this could be bad news. I do not feel that this is a river for beginners. Beginners in duckies with an outfitter/guide, sure! First time family canoeists with a 6 year old in between the thwarts- no way. Beginner is class I and II. This is a POWERFUL river that will make for a very very hard day, perhaps with injury or worse, for beginners. Try the Greenbrier, New above the Bluestone Dam, or other local rivers if it is a new sport to you.
