Had to portage a few times... as it says, too low for a good ride.

ran it from Johnston road to New Scotland.

Class I all the way. (It is 'in our backyard,' as Ilya said, not worth it if you're not closeby). ;)

Ran it at 2,500 CFS who knows what the actual correlation but at this flow it was a lot of moving water and some class class 1-2 rapids. Not really worth running unless it's in your backyard.
