We ran our tandem whitewater canoe down the Beswick Run from Access 6 to Access 1 in late May. Air temps were hot (mid 90s), but water was very cold and swift. Neoprene just in case. Started off a with a drop right away, but there is a smooth line. Shortly after, a rocky section with barely submerged rocks required some maneuvering. This could be more of a rock garden at lower levels. Not much in the way of eddies. One of the last raipds, which seems like two offset holes, could swap a canoe if the wrong line is taken. Felt like a III the way we hit it, but we also didn't scout it. We bailed after that one. Easy dirt road bike shuttle.
