Description

From this point, there appears to be just shy of a half-mile of nearly continuous (or at least intermittent, with very minor gaps) low-grade rapids or rips. There are a couple good bends in the river, and it appears there may be some concern regarding trees (deadfall/snags), so proceed with caution, looking well ahead, being prepared to scramble for (what may a very small) shoreline eddy to exit and portage if/where necessary.
