Great kayak camping trip

I did an overnight paddle in a canoe with my 9 year old son. My friends were in sit a top kayaks. It was an awesome trip! Flow was on the low side about 270 cfs. But even in a canoe is was ok. Not a problem for the kayaks. I would do it again. Beautiful and fun river. You only need a little bit of kayaking experience and you can do it. Camping at swinging bridge was great. Lots of camping there. It was a 2 hour paddle from deep hole to swinging bridge and 3 hours from swinging bridge to sandy bottom the next day.
