Good run, water at the perfect level for me. Stopped for lunch at the recommended spot. About 2.5 hours of paddling total, one solo canoe and one tandem in our group.

Ran this section on 7/4/2018 with the water level approx 3.5

Rapids were fun but the shelves were a little scrapey. I don't think I'd do it again if the water was much lower.

Ran this on 5/26/13 at approximately +5'. At this level, most of the normal rapids are washed out, but others came in and made it an entertaining run. The first busted dam was completely washed out and just presented a nice long wave train. There were a few nice standing waves about halfway down that made for some fun times.
Overall, very runnable at this level for beginners, but also fun for the more adventurous.
