Steady moving water with plenty of class 2 water throughout. Very scenic steep hills and small 'bluffs' line the shores. A couple hazards of note....Approx half way through where the Bayou is thin and fairly shallow there is a right hand turn where the flow has washed out the roots of several trees causing them to fall nearly perfectly horizontal into a line of strainers right where the flow wants to push your boat. There is a large gravel bar on the opposite site that makes for an easy short portage if so desired. At higher water levels where more of the gravel bar is covered this isn't as problematic if you stay far left. On the last rapid, noticeable by the noise you can hear well in advance and the break across the horizon, stay towards river left if the Bayou is less than 8 feet and you don't desire to drop onto a large boulder. Defintely not a beginner run. For those familiar with the Big Piney float from Longpool that is popular in that area, imagine a float like that only with the rapids common in the first mile consistent throughout.
