Ran this three times in the last two days in between rainstorms. Put in on the Hemlock and then the alternate put in for the second two runs. Hemlock ran fine at medium to high flow but there was two portages of beaver dams and the thinner river had more bugs, More time on the paint was worth the drive, though the road to the alternate put in is a bit bumpy. Flatwater is beautiful before and after the rapids and the rapids themselves were a hoot. Fun playwaves in the first class II+ and fun holes and wavetrains in the second Class III
