Ran this at 10.2 on the stick gauge. This was an excellent level I would rate a solid class IV overall. There are lots of lines to take through pretty much every rapid which can all be scouted in the water. Along the right bank there were **a few large strainers that were easily avoided but it should be known they are there.** At this level there were almost no rocks underwater to bump into. The larger rocks presented several cool boofs but a few also had some mean holes behind them. Huge surf waves and play spots. Very easy to run laps and a quick shuttle. Parking areas were clean and the locals seemed friendly, please help keep them that way.
