Description
Beginner friendly for open canoe or kayak at most normal/usual flows. Mostly Class 1 alternating with quiet sections. None of the rapids are especially long. There is one long flat section about half way, but it can be a nice break, especially for beginners to rest before tackling the lower sections. The gauge is at the put in, so it accurately reflects actual flow.
