I ran the section from the dam to hwy-81 today. Awesome run for beginners or first time boaters. It was a placid run with very little in the way of rapids. The play spot at hwy-124 was the largest rapid. At 2.70 I had to scoot a time or two but I didn't have to walk. There are many trees down in the river, easily avoided, but a few dozen in all. From now on I will likely take out at 124 due to shallow, dirty, and tree congested waters below 123. In a fast boat with no stops, the run was 2 hours.
