Ran the Ford @ 1350cfs there is a short class II rapid section about 20 minutes downstrem from the US 2 bridge just after a small island in the river. The rapid section is mostly swift water with some fun waves. For most of the run it is flat water with some class I rapids. total run time was 1 hour 25 min. I would not recomend running under 900cfs. Edit
