Description
At the listed put-in, the river is likely small and may have regular problems with downed trees, strainers, sweepers, and log-jams. Expect some (significant) areas of flatwater, but you can also look forward to some areas of significant gradient. With overall gradient near 55 FPM, and max (full-mile) somewhere near 115 FPM, I would expect at least good class II-III, with likely a spot or two entering class IV territory (but that is all conjecture).
The listed take-out (and put-in for the next section) is labeled both as CR5 and CR11 (and is Penn Blvd within nearby Silver Bay).
SO . . . anyone ever paddled this stretch? Help out your fellow boaters with a comment ("Add a Comment" button below, for all logged-in users), or via a report, with photos/video if possible!
This shuttle is somewhere near a half-hour (each way). We highly recommend meeting at take-out, gearing up, swapping boats and boaters to as few vehicles as possible (to leave 'drop vehicles' there), then driving to put-in to run river. This gets you on water without the delay which would result from meeting at put-in, having to run shuttle down and back up (while some boaters wait somewhere near a full hour!) before putting on river!
