Trip Report

ReporterMatthew Prouse

We run this section every now and then. I find that the best level is above 55', and washed out above 65'. At lower levels there are some small surf waves down stream before the take out. We have always enjoyed paddling down to the Big Shoals rapids and setting up camp on river left and walking our boats back up for multiple runs. At low flow the rapid can be a bit retentive for swimmers.

Here are some good videos from our trips
