Description

This is basically a long class I river with a lot of strainers to negotiate. There are two rapids in the middle of the run, class III. The level has to be up, too, to warrant running them. The water is warm and there is a lot of good wildlife to check out. Small, easy rapids from 302 to Pope Rd. After Pope Rd. there is a nice class-III drop (6-ft double ledge). The next rapid is another ledge drop with a nice hole.
