Description
Timothy Glaser testified: I have run this many times and anything above 3.25 is OK; anything below and you will be scraping in the shallow runs. The class 2 section is about 1/4 mile long, fun and most of the trip is rural with no housing. The only "real" take out spots are at the beginning and about 3/4 of a mile below the "advertised" spot at Willow Beach on Rt 20. The part from route 20/I79 (the "advertised" spot) to the West Fork river is almost all residential/city and flat/Class 1. I am always looking for someone to run this section; it takes about an hour for the upper, or 2.5 if you go all the way to the West Fork.
