DO NOT put in at the base of Alpine Falls unless you really like flatwater paddling. You're looking at a small amount of class II followed by 2 miles of slow moving, braided channels. In addition you get one large nasty log portage.

The class IV+ stuff is a lot of fun, but access this section from the Foss River Rd. or from Highway 2 when you first see the river after passing Foss River Rd.

Take out at the confluence with the Foss, or at Highway 2 to avoid more flat water/ class II.
