If you look up stream from the take out bridge (117) and you see a bunch of rocks, it's too low. If you see only a few, your good. The best put in is a pull-off not far from the top of tarbox rd. and there is a little trail that you can hike down. If you put in higher than this you will most likely be getting out of your boat 3-4 times to go around logs, and there are no rapids until you reach the gorge anyway. The run starts off with a few good ledge drops and you can run them anywhere, class 3 stuff. Then there are couple small falls, run both on river right, easy class 4. Everything is scoutable but you are in peoples back yards some of the time. All the drops are runnable but the last one can be a boat breaker and it's a good idea to walk around it if the water is really low. The run just gets better with more water and features and lines stay pretty much the same. Great intro to creeking run. Watch out for wood. Don't drive too fast on Tarbox rd, all the land owners I have run into have been ok with us scouting/portaging and we should keep it that way. Have fun.
