This section is a great open boat run. The rapids require some maneuvering but are straightforward. At 3.5' @ the Franklin gauge, the only area we came close to swamping our loaded tandem canoe (no bags) was at the Royal Glen dam. Run this to the left and then ferry over to the left bank to dump and you'll be fine.
