River Description

The first 1.4 miles is the class III-IV part and is a significantly dewatered reach with a lot of action packed into a short distance. (Beware metal debris in river.) The remaining 3.9 miles is a paddle out with light rapids. (Some boaters may opt to just carry back up along the penstock.)
