River Description
Generally flat/flowing water, interspersed with low-grade (class I-II) rapids which will primarily be shallows, shoals, swifts, and boulder-beds. It is very likely that these will be splishy-splash waves, and fun for the novice recreational kayaker, but generally do not appear likely to create much 'play' or interest to even moderately experienced whitewater boaters.
We do solicit and welcome your comments, reports, and photos/videos if you have boated this stretch and can provide additional details to help out your fellow boaters. Did you find it worthwhile? Or is this not really worth considering as a whitewater trip?

Beaver Creek Road
This run is generally low-grade boulderbed rapids, liberally scattered, and interspersed with flat/flowing water, likely with few (if any) allowing much serious whitewater play or difficulty. We therefore will not so much list specific rapids, but rather offer waypoints and progress markers.
Road 1403
This appears almost more a driveway, dead-ending at the river. Unknown if parking here is allowed, if wanted/needed for alternate access for shorter trips. We would recommend talking with property owner to explain what you intend to do, and attempting to get permission before leaving a car in this area.

Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportAn easy paddle with a large group ranging from novice to intermediate paddlers. Very much a social run and non-technical. A few rock gardens to navigate but no real waves. Nice for an easy shuttle and to get folks onto the water.
A few class 1 riffles.
