This is a fun stretch of river. Popular for fishing rigs.

Ran it today at about 900, I've run it at 275---you wouldn't want to try it much lower than that.

There are three rapids on the section. I'll disagree with the earlier comment slightly. The first rapid is a blink-and-you'll miss it. But the second rapid is the most significant on the run. It comes a little less than halfway down, on a right-hand bend on the river. It's easy to scout from river left. The rapid is a fairly straightforward boulder garden with a hole at the bottom (river right), but if there's a class III rapid on this stretch, it's the second, not the third. We've seen a canoe wrapped on the big pillow rock in the middle of this rapid, but it was gone today. The third rapid is about three-quarters of the way down and is, to my mind, easier than the second. It's on a leftward bend in the river at the base of a long cliff band.
