PAddled this with a group on 5/15/2010 at a level of 3.7' or so and dropping very slowly. Water was perhaps a foot under the low water bridge at the TC Campground at the put in and it looked semi low there but was enough downstream for a good Class 2-3+ run.
This is definitely a strong intermediate run at this level although intermediate paddlers can probably do it as long as they are with a strong paddlers who can help and know the river.
Rapids are numerous and very very little flatwater on this section. We did 8 miles or so before taking out along FS86 road that runs along on the left side.
Rapids can be ledges, boulder gardens, and holes and a mix of all of these. At this level the route ewas not always easy to find. Very little wood seen. Need to stay alert for rocks as they are everywhere.
Very scenic and a great run on a sunny day. We were lucky to have sun and low 70's. Other paddlers said it was often raining when they paddled it. At 4.5' and higher this seems like it would be a definite run for advanced and expert paddlers only as swims could be long and painful.
