We did a late afternoon / evening float from the campground down to the highway 299 bridge and found this section very enjoyable. The rapids are mostly class 1, but they come in steady succession. Not sure if I would call any of the rapids class 2, though maybe at higher flows. We found many small waves and holes for surfing and playing. It is a very nice section of river and well worth paddling.

The powerhouse normally releases high flows during the day. During release weekends, flows are lower since they are spread out over 24 hours.
