Run Map
Description
We have no specific first-hand info on this reach, however, looking at the topo maps, there are a good number of marked 'rapids'. Satellite views are inconclusive, but appear to show areas of low-grade rocky (gravel-bed?) rips. So . . . this may be mostly just swiftwater and splishy-splash, or it could be a fine beginners (intermediates?) stretch of river. We would welcome input from anyone who has run this reach. Please leave a report (with photos, if possible) to convey whether the 'main stem' part of this run is worthwhile for beginners and/or intermediate whitewater paddlers.
