Trip Report

ReporterDavid Hoddinott

Ran this at 1.95 a few days ago (just about as low as you go). The walk-in on the bike path is quite a ways, but it does let you run 1 or two more rapids. 2 feet was a good level to teach someone how to boat, lots of slow water, rapids were easy and safe (hardest was a class 2).
There is a tempting put-in before the bridge, but it does require crawling through a kayak-sized hole in the fence, past a 'no trespassing' sign. Please cross the bridge and walk down the public trail system, it only takes 2 extra minutes of walking.
