River Description

Numerous minor rapids (class I-II) populate this reach. Many large islands split the flow, effectively making this almost two separate trips.

Some river descriptions suggest 'swapping streams', starting in the left channel for 2.5 miles, then (just past "Fox Landing") dragging a half mile up a 'cut-through' channel to swap over to the right channel for the better rapids in its lower reaches.
