This is a nice run for a liesurely day of paddling with easily negotiated rapids for the novice but
requires enough skill to keep the intermediate paddler intrigued. Don't try this at anything below
a gauge level of 11 ft. or you will spend more time dragging and walking than you do floating and
paddling. Edit
