Trip Report
| Reporter | Jonathan Dzielak |
Ran this section over the weekend and the lower level cutoff is definitely accurate. We didn't have to get out and drag except one time when we got right of the island at the first commercial campground and ended up on a sand bar. The level was at 3.45 when we left on Saturday and 3.35 when we got back on Sunday. We camped right where the two rivers converge and the paddling times were 7 hours on the first day and 3 hours on the second (we were actually paddling, not floating). At this level the rapids are way over-rated. There were some tricky class I for sure but I wouldn't rate anything class II at this level.
