Description
Nearly continuous class I-II rapids and excellent scenery characterize this stretch of river. Most of the year, the trip will end with paddling across the flowage behind the dam at Hwy.113. When the lake is drawn down (late fall) there are reportedly some high grade (I've heard unconfirmed reports claiming class IV!) drops revealed.
