Description
A class II-III run with three class IV's in the first couple of miles, then a lot of surf waves, then easy floating interupted by a couple more class III's. Run the final horizon line on the left.
Boaters can put in where the road turns from pavement to gravel to skip the class IV rapids in the first couple miles (or portage them).
Use the instantaneous flow option on this gauge for flow: https://apps.wrd.state.or.us/apps/sw/hydro\_near\_real\_time/display\_hydro\_graph.aspx?station\_nbr=14193000
600 cfs is a good flow.
