Description

A series of class 3 rapids starts at the upper put-in and runs for at least 1/4 mile, ending at the confluence with Cook & Green Creek. In that distance there are five class 3 to 3+ rapids (depending on flow) with short sections of class 2 water in between. (The upper section has less water, is more shallow and has more boulders then below the bridge. Flipping almost always results in hitting bottom.)
