North Platte

There is no level where this stretch moves into the class V range although above 3k cfs it becomes more class IV. The ten mile stretch from the Routt access to Six mile gap has all the big rapids. Above Stovepipe rapid we call Tootsie Roll rapid which has the largest holes at high water. It requires moving around as you run through but you definitely want to miss the holes center left and far left. Above 2k cfs there is a right side run at Narrow Falls which keeps you away from the wall and the lower left holes, so a bit of a sneak. This is a good wilderness day run with no permit although not continuous action if you require it.
