River Description

FUN FACT: Fun river when there's water to fill in the boulder gardens.

SEASON: Winter rain storms. Generally best when rivers are moderately high.

ACCESS: The put-in is at Klahowya Campground (those looking for more action at the start can put-in at the upstream of the two bridges, at Highway 101 mile 212.6, and run "Bridge Drop"). The campground is located at Highway 101 mile 211.9 on the north side of the road. To reach the take-out, travel west to Highway 101 mile 206.4 and turn south on Hillstrom Rd. and follow it to the boat launch access.

DESCRIPTION:

Several boulder gardens that form relatively easy rapids.
