My wife and I took our Pack rafts on their maiden river voyage here. It is was a great place to learn. Started at Hwy 67 and took out at the confluence. There was only 1 section towards the end which I'm guessing is called 'The chutes' which is a bit scary for newbs like us. We never swam but bounced off a rock pretty good. If we did swim, there was a nice Olympic pool at the end.
CFS was @ 205 and we did hit bottom in some sections but could have avoided if we knew how to read the river better. Any higher would be perfect. There were A LOT of tubers, so a great place to look cool. We will be back to practice for the more intimidating Foxton!
