Trip Report

I would say the ideal level is 800 - 1000cfs as its real technical and not too pushy. I've heard at 2000+ it gets pretty big, but it has some great, low-stress, technical elements that you lose at higher flows. If everything else is too high, this is a great fall-back and you won't be bored. The shuttle is pretty tricky if your trying to cut out the flatwater though as it is miles of a dirt road through clear-cut land.
