Description

Drainage is now 36 square miles.

From here to the listed access at Stinnet is around 5 miles, and will be the most-often-boatable section of this branch of the river.

Overall gradient is 14 FPM. (Gradient starts out around 20 FPM, but soon drops to more like 10 FPM.)

Again, while we have no specific knowledge of this section of river, that gradient is likely to contain mostly swiftwater and flatwater, with possible mild whitewater (likely class I-II).

We highly encourage anyone who has put eyes (or boats!) on this area to help out fellow boaters with a "Trip Report" (especially if you can provide photos!). Are there rapids worthy of naming? Playspots? Any problems with wood, access, or other matters?
