Trip Report

ReporterBryan Foster

Went down at 5.05' *; We did this last year at 4.21' and the main rapid was a class II. Now with the extra water the rapid turned into a succession of drops and holes and a definite class III. The main drop is the one pictured in most of the photos as the rock on river right was under water and so is the one just toward the center, which if not hit correctly will send you off course and perhaps into a swim:) I would recommend putting in at CTH J instead of G since there is a nice grassy put in on the upstream river right side and you don't miss anything except some swift current. By the way, I love catching this river. So if you are planning on paddling it let me know.
