Access for the full run listed is via an old railroad right-of-way off Marsh Road. Boaters just wanting to 'go for the gorge' (the shortest run, with the most challenging action) may use Hwy 97 as their start. This results in a run of 3.4 miles (or less, if parking and egress can be found at the corner at Day Road and Birch Road).
The listed run begins with a bit over a mile of small ledge and boulder bed (class I-II). The next 3+ miles are flat-water. Shortly down from Hwy 97 is a sweet dells. The river narrows considerably into a good sequence of drops (class III), followed by some trailing technical class II, then 1.5 miles flat to the takeout at the corner of Mann Road and River Road.
