FWIW, regarding the comment below, their access (put-in) was an additional 8 miles upstream from the reach as listed here. In concert with the low summer flow, that accounts for the duration of their trip. The listed reach should not take anywhere near that length of time.

I did an extended trip that included this stretch in the summer of 2005 when water levels were extremely low. We dropped in at the campgound off of FS-347 and ended at Bates-Amasa bridge (CR-643). It took around 5 hours (aside from the rapids, we floated most of the way) but would be much quicker at higher water. The two sections of Hemlock Rapids were a blast and in the Spring would be great.
