River Description
SEASON: November to May
DESCRIPTION:
This first section includes a canyon and a few rapids. An alternative
access point 15 miles down at Cougar Smith Rd. marks the start of a
somewhat easier section that can only marginally be called a whitewater
run. There are a few places to practice moves.
