River Description

The Electra Run is a wonderful class 2 section suitable for beginning white water boaters. It has dependable summer flows and nice scenery.

John Gangemi reports:

The opening of the Middle Bar Bridge take-out now makes the run from Electra Afterbay Dam to the bridge about 5.5 miles. This is a great Class-II reach with nearly dependable water in the summer due to peaking power generation. Getting this formerly restricted area open to boaters was a key focus for American Whitewater in the relicensing of the upstream PG&E Mokelumne hydropower project.
