NOTE: The gauge listed is downstream, and is affected by power generation dams which are located between this reach and the gauge. However, it is the best reference available.

Fairly straightforward stretch. Start is 2 miles of flatwater, followed by 2 miles of easy whitewater. Take out at Silver Lake Road is under dispute and could be problematic. Most parties continue downstream to Redford or take out at a canoe carry trail upstream of the bridge( see accompanying description).
