We had a large group of kids in kayaks and a couple rafts along for the float from Banks down to Beehive Bend. It was a Saturday morning when we launched but not too crowed. We were at the launch area around 10am which was earlier than many other trips. After rigging and setting shuttle we were on the water at approximately 11:30am. We stopped for lunch for abour 45 minutes. We were off the water by 2:30pm. It was just over 2 hours of float time from Banks down to Beehive Bend at a leisurely pace.
