Put-in Take-out Rapids/Hazards Wild Recreational

Description

This is a nice easy float from Hilgard to Riverside Park. Numerous class II rapids, but mostly just fun boogie water. This stretch will get bony once the snowmelt decreases, so best time to catch it is late April through early June. The rapid after the N 2nd Street Bridge is bony even at higher flows, so be careful. An alternative takeout is river right at the N 2nd Street Bridge (45°20'30.9'N 118°05'58.6'W), which is just upstream from Riverside Park. 26fpm, HAZARDS: strainers, logs, few large rapids
