Low flow, but still fun. Similar difficulty to the upper Eno. Rapids start after a mile and last a couple miles pretty consistently with the last being Johnson's Ford. 2-3 class IIs and Johnson's Ford is II+ with a 3-4' drop followed by a 2' or so drop before things get flat. You can also run the left side if you aren't confident since it's sloped for the whole drop but it would be a fast ride. I opted to takeout upstream at Bear Creek, which is way shorter than going to High Falls, but it was also a bit frustrating to go around the little rapids on the creek. And there is a dam to portage.
