River Description

This section is great for beginner kayakers or open boat paddles to be able to get use to moving water. After the North Branch joins the Middle the fun begins. All the way down to Russell is nice class II choppy rapids. With only one real rapid that can easily be naviagated, this section is a great start before paddling the other sections of the Grass.
