Pretty much had the whole place to ourselves outside of a few fishermen along the banks, temps were in the 60s and cloudy, was a great time till the wind picked up. Great spot to practice river skills, The rock garden was a great time but can be a little spicy for true beginners. Can be done on a paddle board but much more enjoyable in an kayak or packraft.

A little low at 205CFS for packrafts, hardboat would be better. Wait for 250CFS if you want it perfect because some of the drops had very narrow specific slots to point through with exposed rocks that scrape your boat. The benefit are very few people on a saturday around noon. Some scraping on the bottom on some rock bars so be weary packrafters. Extremely fun still with lots of rocks exposed for practicing eddying out. Stay left on Tagarts Rapid but avoid the submerged rock also on your left at these flows. Tagarts and one other rapid midway through are perfect for surfing and practicing as it is easy to peel off river right and paddle up stream over and over again.

Fun day out! 5-minute drive from the takeout to the put in. An hour float if that. Tons of parking on both ends this time of year. Mid-May is PRE-tubing season which was awesome. Water temp around upper 48°. Air temp around 70°. One other boat on the water we saw. Stay left for the low bridge portage, very short walk. This section was full of thrilling and fun for beginner kayakers. We had 4 packrafts and one double ducky. The rock garden section was not hard. Just fun at 644cfs. Engaging flows all the way down to Taggarts. The last rapid before the pullout caught us off guard and flipped 3 out of the 6 of us. Really really fun in a packraft. Stay left to make it easy. Stay right to make it harder. Wood branch on the right right after the rock drop off could cause and issue. Stay center or only just right of center to avoid the tree on the right, or all the way left for easy-safest line. Make sure you keep your boat going pointed straight down to avoid a flip. At this flow, the runout was easy to swim/self rescue. Great practice and shallow enought to stand up without many hazards felt below but still beware and try not to stand up here to avoid entrapment. We walked the rapid two more times and had a really great time.

There is a  new bridge being installed on this section of reiver. The Old bridge has been removed and a temporary bridge has been installed. This is a Mandatory Portage !!!!

Great section of river for beginners and those who like the SUP challenge. There are also tons of tubers, but they don't get in the way.

Taggarts Grill has now become a more upscale establishment, but the food is still good and the beer cold. They also have a pay phone. Just behind the grill, is a hut for Park City Rafting. I bummed a ride from them back to exit 112. There are about 3 rafting services running this stretch, though they put-in at places upstream from exit 112.

The Cow Wave described in the River Description is in Hennifer, which is exit 115. This is not part of the exit 112 to exit 108 run. To run this, you need to put in just above Hennifer off an access road and over a fence with a fishing access ladder. There is no access in Hennifer at the bridge where you can see the wave.
