River Description

Put in below the Monastary or alternately at Skull Bridge. The majority of play and rapids come after Skull Bridge. Shortly after the Bridge watch for the river to split, stay left and enjoy the nice wave where the river comes back together again.
Flows around 500-800cfs are pretty good. Begins flowing in early to mid March. After July watch for releases on Friday through Monday, usually in the 800-1000cfs range.
