I did this run on Sunday. About 8 ft. Fun run with my son (11). We put in at Dorlan Mill Rd and took out at Kerr Park. Took us around 1.5 hours. Easy run with some decent ledges and nice white water the whole run. Class 2 for sure. We took out at the dam on the right. Very easy to do. There is one really nice rapid around Dowlin Forge Rd.
