River Description

Put-in at Swimming Hole Ck.Campground on River Rd 8 miles W of town of Rock.

Take-out is at boat landing on river right as you encounter Boney Falls Basin (flowage behind dam).

River is generally wide, open channel with fast current and some standing waves (at increasingly higher levels). (There are NO significant obstructions and NO real rapids.)

Google Maps has excellent resolution aerials of this reach. We highly recommend going to the "Map" tab, clicking 'Satellite', double clicking near (not on, but near) the put-in location icon, zooming to the maximum resolution (without losing image), and doing a 'virtual tour' to 'walk' down the reach. You'll see no discernable rapids. (Ok, maybe a minor rock garden or two.)
