River came up with rain and saturated soils. Paddling was rough as it was mostly a hole. There was some dirty green water in the center, but I couldn't stay on it. I was there from about 3 to 4:30 and no one was around. This was at the end of MSU's spring break and parking on the south side was easy. I could enter from either eddy, right or left, then hold on for a bumpy ride. There was a lot of wood coming down the river. I saw 2 large trees and a sit-on-top. Definetly need to be heads up. It was worth the trip, but it was a work out.
