River Description
The season for this run is generally April and May. It sometimes runs into June but generally
tapers off by the end of the month. Because it's class II, this river is often overlooked with so
many options in the spring but its a great run for instruction with some fun playspots to keep
everyone happy as it flows through east side agricultural land. Over the course of the run there
are a number of sandstone ledges that form great surfing waves that are the perfect size to learn
on. Stay alert for wood hazards which shift from year to year.

possible to avoid.
deadfall. The West Fork is entertaining, as most of the channel is through smoothly-eroded rock -
it's like a big waterslide. The main problem with the West Fork is access, as it goes through
private land. If you put in above the campground, be aware that there will probably be a tree
across the river right after you put in.
In early summer 2002, there were a couple of big trees down on the main Teanaway, but there was
plenty of time to get to the side, even at moderately high flows. None of the logjams we
encountered in the farm areas were a problem. The obvious braids were all runnable.
