Best I can tell, there is not a single stretch of this reach which exceeds 15 FPM. As a result, it is hard to expect that any significant part of it is honestly whitewater. (This is not to discount that there may be some riffles and rips, possibly even a playable wave, but not likely any actual 'rapids'. Prove me wrong! Add a 'Trip Report' with photos of significant rapids!)
