No addition of dam area yet? There is one notable rapid here. I think a solid class three. There are a few runs. Run on river right is a bit bony with what appears to be a slight boof. Run looks about 8 feet from bank. There looks to be a center run also. There is a run left of center on a tongue. Eddy out at top left to scout from the boat then hit the tongue center. There is an eddy on right about halfway down or you can shoot to bottom of rapid. There is one large rock at bottom of rapid to run around at lower level. If you run the tongue too far to right there is a grabby hole that may pull you right. Hole to left of tongue looks like it would push you back to center.
Below that is a small easy rapid (less than class 2) before the bridge.
