We had a great day paddling at very low flows on this section - but it was enough to float our boats everywhere except one spot. For my friend it was her second (class 2) river and a good confidence booster; for me a beautiful workout and great day out. There was no troublesome wood that we saw. Biking the shuttle was also very doable - an 11-mile ride with moderate hills for a just-under-10-mile run. It was great to have a run with easy logistics to paddle on a sunny, fall day.
