Trip Report

ReporterPhilip Young

We ran from the Griffith ford to the Evans Tract access (10 miles, 3 hours) at just under 700 cfs, a decent level with no scraping. There is really only one rapid of any significance, a small ledge just upstream of the second railroad bridge, best run on the left, with a left angle. Great water quality, beautiful scenery. Sharon park, just upstream of I-64, is about halfway, if you want a shorter trip. I hear Twin River Outfitters puts in there as low as 300 cfs.
