River Description

Generally flat/flowing water, interspersed with low-grade (class I-II) rapids which will primarily be shallows, shoals, swifts, and boulder-beds. It is very likely that these will be splishy-splash waves, and fun for the novice recreational kayaker, but generally do not appear likely to create much 'play' or interest to even moderately experienced whitewater boaters.

We do solicit and welcome your comments, reports, and photos/videos if you have boated this stretch and can provide additional details to help out your fellow boaters. Did you find it worthwhile? Or is this not really worth considering as a whitewater trip?

An easy paddle with a large group ranging from novice to intermediate paddlers.  Very much a social run and non-technical.  A few rock gardens to navigate but no real waves.  Nice for an easy shuttle and to get folks onto the water.

A few class 1 riffles.
