Description

Described in Texas Whitewater as having more water than the upper stretch, but also as less technical. Current beta needed. Difficulty and range of recommended flows are taken from the book. Distances and gradient measured using GIS tools in 2015. Ran this on 5/2/21 at a flow rate of 1200 CFS. 12 miles in about hour and half. Continuously moving and it made for a fun time. Only go at this level if you are an experienced kayaker. Portage's are hard at this lvl.
