River Description

Nice class 2 stretch with regular cobblebar rapids and no long flat stretches.  Pretty scenery, nice cliffs.  I would suggest that 3.7 feet is a scrapy minimum.  6 or 8 inches more would make it really fun.

There is a 'Public boat access' in Parsons (sign on 72) that is recommended.   The boat access below Parsons beneath the Holly Meadows bridge adds 2.5+ miles of mostly flatwater.
