Description

All information presented here is gleaned from online aerial views and topo maps. As such, it is highly speculative, and should be taken with the proverbial 'grain of salt'. Distances may be especially subject to variability, as various areas of this stretch appear to be in low-floodplain. With sufficient flow to make the run worthwhile, it is entirely possible some meanders may be flooded over, allowing paddlers to cut off possibly substantial distance from the listed mileages.

Anyone having first-hand information on this run is highly encouraged to help out your fellow paddlers by providing additional information. Have you tried this run? Is it worthwhile? Or more of a hassle than it is worth?
