River Description
Stephen Strange shared:
We had a lot of fun on this run. It has a lot of flat water, but then has some BIG drops.
To avoid the flat water the reccomended run is the bridge in Fine to the bridge in South Edwards. Click the Map tab to see the full extent of the run.
Be sure to scout when you get to the rapids below the dam before South Edwards. Squires notes both fun drops and surf waves throughout this run.

Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportThis drop looked small and easy compared to the rapid upstream. One of our party ran it without looking at it. The directions he was given were ' It's just a slide, run it about 10 feet off the left'. I enjoyed watching his eyes get big at the lip.
