Please correct the description of this section. The specs. are incorrect.
This section is 6 miles in length with gradient in the 40-50 fpm range. Please note the contour intervals on USGS topo maps are 20 ft. and not 40. A local trout guide who has waded this entire stretch stated there is no real whitewater here. I have waded one mile of this stretch and observed nothing more than class I water. It can be floated but even at 60 %, it will be a scratch and rub ride. The drainage size is only about 30 square miles which is smaller than the Tye.
