Primary
Runnable: 300.0 – 1,800.0 CFS

Description
Rural Road is a low-gradient section with minimal technical challenges, characterized by shallow water and potential strainers during low flow periods. Paddlers should carefully scout for downed trees and debris, particularly near the road crossings, and be prepared for potential portages around obstruction zones.
