Trip Report
| Reporter | Bruce Farrenkopf |
The Floriston Rapid, which is the last half mile of this Truckee section, is closer to a class IV than a III. A less experienced boater expecting III would be in for a surprise. I have run the Floriston Rapid dozens of times over 15 years, boated all over the country with some international experience, and boated a lot of III, IV and V's . Holbek and Stanley claim 'the last half mile is a good class IV rapid'.
