Figured I'd add a report here since there's not much info. We only ran from the bridge down to the honeymooner takeout. It's a super fun and beautiful stretch, it's easy to scout and portage pretty much every rapid. There is some wood below the bridge that you need to walk a bit to see, it's worth walking down a bit to check it out, right now you could just barely paddle over a 3-5 ft section of it, as the water comes down you likely won't be able to and you can't see it until it's too late to get out of the water. Speaking about level, the gauge used for this run on here (belfry) does not correlate, I attached a photo of what it looked like under the bridge for reference. A few youtube videos ran it at the same purported level and the water was ~3 ft higher when we were there compared to the videos. It was pretty high and I would say at this level you better be a solid class 4 boater, a lot of the rapids were bordering class 5 I thought because of the pushiness, likely high consequence of a missed line, and stacked drops. With the exception of the tight chute that you can see from the bridge we ran every rapid though and they were all a blast! Get after it!
