We did this route yesterday 6/16/18--Water levels were normal, no recent storms and no warnings present. To anyone else is considering this route--- this is not for recreational kayakers. We've kayaked for years, but this was challenging and one of us almost died. No one was on the water on a highly popular kayak canoe day for weather this weekend. Our boats took on so much water in some of the rapids, one of us went under and the boat had to be retrieved--the other kayaker had to swim to shore. Ironically--the 'Death Hole' was where he went under, though it states it is fairly harmless.Just beware. Do some research, if you're not experienced, don't take your chances. Of course, WEAR LIFE JACKETS--they saved a life yesterday.
