Description

The class II section is a lazy stream, decending only 26 feet over a two-and-a-quarter mile length, the majority of the decent in the last quarter mile where there are two class III rapids. Make sure you take out where the river passes under the national forest road, otherwise you'll end up being quickly swept into class IV and V rapids.
