Trip Report

ReporterRoman Ryder

We ran it today at 1600cfs. We set up our putin and takeout on Needmore Rd. at the bridges that cross creeks (approximately 5 miles apart). It was almost a constant class I from beginning to end with occasional class II features in the larger rapids. There are a number of spots where you'll hit rocks barely submerged, that would probably normally be above water. Due to trees and branches, there aren't a lot of eddy opportunities, so it may be wiser to paddle a shorter distance.
