Description
This is a scenic forested run that flows along Forest Road 218 that parallels river right. This is a one-lane dirt road with pullouts. Popular with trout fishermen, the run features a consistent graident of class II+ whitewater with a few easy sections of class III at higher flows during the spring. Several formal and informal campging areas are found along the river and multiple access points allow boaters to customize the length of their run. A historic Forest Service cabin is even available for rent near the put-in.
