River Description
This river length starts out very mellow and slow. There is a runnable gravel Dam/Class II rapid just upstream of Nobels Mill Rd. Further down there is a mandatory portage and an unrunnable Dam with a concrete apron a short distance upstream from Darlington Rd. After Darlington Rd., the river picks up speed again when it makes its final rush to the Susquehanna.
