Description
Put-in: There is no bridge across the river on East Branch Road. The final 100 meters of East Branch Road (to the river) are 'abandoned' and are now private property. Please request permission at the last house on right to park and carry down to river. Take-out: Hwy.45 "Military Bridge" This makes a good play run at higher water, with some fine stretches of continuous I-II rapids, and a few areas which may push into class III-ish range, and some fine 'squirt spots'. There are no 'major' drops which would require scouting by competent whitewater boaters.
