Ran this today at 2400 CFS in a Nova Craft Prospector 15 Blue Steel. Did not do enough research and really put the Gel Coat through the paces.

If in a canoe make sure to approach the first shoal on river left. River right is possible at 2400 but extremely easy to get stuck on the rocks, and self rescue is difficult.

Be aware that even in calm areas, the silt murking up the water will hide some flat shallow rocks that can scrape or even get you stuck.

The final big rapid on river right was a lot of fun to shoot through. Just approach it head on and you will squeeze through without bumping anywhere.

Ran from Popes Ferry to Amerson Water Park canoe ramp on Sunday 4/09/17 at approx 7000 cfs. At this point, the shoals are mostly washed over, though even a kayaker will bump a rock from time to time and a canoe will get stuck. The waves are definitely a bit of fun at this point, with the water right at the high end of what my recreational kayak can handle. Water was definitely muddy and not very good for swimming but definitely a fun run. The trip took about 3-1/2 hours at this level. We ran it at a much lower level back last August and it took over an hour longer.

Also, Amerson is back open with a canoe ramp that you will encounter first and another water access after the large bend in the river.

Three friends of mine and me went down this section on 5/29/16. We had a great time. This was our first whitewater experience. This trip took us 8 hrs. We spent probably an hour Re-run Ning the last drop. The cfs for the day was 1200 .this is a great run for a beginning kayaker.
