River Description

Most of this run is fun "Land of Sky Blue Waters" (for those who remember the old Hamm's beer commercials) bobbling along. A few larger waves and holes will be encountered, some of which can become rather sticky and/or playful at moderate to high levels.

The largest drop is rather midway through the run, where the river drops over a large bedrock intrusion. The main channel has offset huge holes, midway down the large jumbled drop, which do not look very boater-friendly. A tight right-side sneak is possible, though it contains a couple of piton spots.

The remainder of the run is more like the earlier portion, with easy bobbling and occasional ledge/wave/holes.
