We paddled the 21 miles from Summit Creek Bridge (on the section above) to Icehouse in 3 hours, a pace of 7 miles per hour. The water was up into the trees along the shoreline and eddies were limited so it was a fast trip. Even at this level there were several good campsites on the bench above the river but no beaches. Wood hazards were present in several places along the shoreline and a few were mid-channel but could be easily avoided by experienced paddlers.
