River Description
Great class III run, Dennis Menice and Double Falls stand out as III+, but there are lots of fun II-III rapids.
This run is about one hour NE of Ukiah. Southside road is good for shuttle from put-in to take-out. Northside road is the best way to the put-in and the best road home.

Ran it yesterday. Flow was 300cfs as reported on Dreamflows from CDEC daily average. Southside road
is good for shuttle from put-in to take-out. Northside road is the best way to the put-in and the
best road home. It is about one hour NE of Ukiah. Great class III run, Dennis Menice and Double
Falls stand out as III+, but there are lots of fun II-III rapids.

The access/shuttle road on the south side of the river is open again. This makes the shuttle much
shorter. p.s. - You can get an approximation of the flow for much of the year by looking at the
Lake Mendocino Inflow. See the EF Russian write-up for a link. Randy Hodges
