pool drop class two until you get to the zoar gap rapid, a nice solid textbook class three. From
the road the run looks like its nothing but flatwater, but I was pleastantly surprised. The current
moves fast and there is quite a bit of class 2 play the whole way down. Once again, great for a
beginner to practice ferry's, surfing and peel outs. With the big rapid in sight of the takeout,
makes for a great way to cap off the run!!
The water is pretty chilly as a result of the damn release. We were wearing long sleave tops in
August.
