Fun in-city stretch of river. Easy to put in at '1st Golden Spot' and take out at Valente Lake, though it is about a quarter mile from the takeout and the parking lot. In general, at this flow I completely agree with the description, but the drop plus rock field on the dam was completely impassible. Recommend at least scouting it if you are thinking about running it, but it was also pretty easy to portage on the left. Image is of a boat chute right at the put-in.
