I tend to think of it as class III+ to easy IV. It is shorter and easier than the North Fork but it as at least three significant drops on it. Whale Tail, the first one below where a major creek comes in, stern squirted me one time at high water. That wouldn't be such a big deal except I was in a 12-foot open boat. Not far downstream is Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. At high water I would say that rates Class IV, although it is pretty straightfoward. There are lots of other interesting rapids. Should be good to go today from what I see on the guage. Watch out for strainers. It is a micro creek and they can go all the way across.
