River DescriptionThere are no 'big' drops on this reach. Most drops are boat-scoutable at normal levels except for areas of constriction due to wood. The rapids consist of a series of ledges creating waves and holes.As the river starts to pick up the pace, one will encounter more waves until you reach a series of ledges with a house on river left. There are numerous places to play but no eddies. As one passes the house, there is another river wide hole that can be quite sticky and should not be taken lightly (Class III). It can be punched anywhere but will require you to paddle out of it. It also might offer some play. From here the river will bend right and you will encounter much wood. It is best to scout this because the line through will not be obvious. From here on the river starts to mellow out. There will be some more standing waves and then it will eventually become flatwater. It is about a half mile flawater paddle to the take out at Green Garden Road. Rescues are difficult because of the lack of eddies and there are two nasty holes that deserve a Class II+/III rating. A largley obstructed channel (due to wood) after the main rapids makes it deserve a class III rating at high water due to the potential for injury. The wood obstruction makes rescues difficult if a boater should swim in the main rapids near the house. Get swimmers and their gear to shore quickly. Lower water levels will likely be boney because the river is quite shallow in places even at high water/flood stage. StreamTeam Status: unverified
