Description

Don't let the lack of detail on this run dissuade you from interest! The action is so intense and continuous (at least if you catch it at flows over 1000 cfs) that I have not bothered to parse out or name any individual features. We hope that folks who have run this more recently and regularly will name some features and provide them via trip reports and photos.

As you come in sight of the powerhouse (and it's outflow canal) the major bulk of the gradient is over. Your option is to either take-out and carry up alongside the penstock, or to continue downriver, paddling 3.9 miles of low gradient (but well-moving water) to get to the next road crossing.
