Paddled the entire run down to Millers Run take out from Route # 50. Plenty of water at 300 cfs, class 1 to 1+, perhaps a few class 2 at higher levels. Recomend putting in at Sunny Side Rd to avoid the dozen or so log jams and beaver dams that required a portage. Very pretty  from open meadows to heavily wooded hemlock and rhododendron sections. The take out at Millers Run is about a 4 foot wide stream just past a large house on river right. Had no issues paddling this in a rec boat.
