Description

Parking is only available along the road. The put-in is on river-left just downriver from the bridge. There is a large staging area near river but a narrow slot to launch from. When the mid-river rock visible downriver from the bridge (and just downriver launch spot) has more than 2” SHOWING above water, flow IS NOT ADEQUATE. If any of the rock is showing then the trip will require more maneuvering and may have some scraping on 3 of the upper rapids. On the other end of the scale, high flows are not significantly limiting for this section (just more waves and less rocks).
