Description

Fair gradient should make for a pleasant swiftwater float. While in the area, check out nearby Thistlewaite Falls, which is not a natural falls, but was created by the damming of the river, causing it (at overflow) to pour across a picturesque scalloped-rock falls. The various weirs and dams in this area should all be inspected (at each different water level) to carefully assess the character of the boil line. Some may create very interesting and fun play at the right levels (if there is not a river-wide rolling boil-line), or extreme danger (if there is a deep rolling boil). If you are not experienced enough to fully understand the difference, PORTAGE, taking out well upstream, and putting in well downstream from low-head dams to avoid their deadly undertow.
