Description

After the bridge, the river does a few quick (flatwater, easy) zig-zags. A private residence on river-right signals the next rapids. This stretch of rapids is about 1/3rd of a mile, and appears to have some likelihood of really good action, especially in the early going. It also appears to have some concern for deadfall, so be alert as you run this, always looking well downstream, ready to catch a micro-eddy to deal with (likely portage) any impassable snags. (Likely class III early, tapering back to class II, but with serious deadfall concerns pushing skill-level required up a notch or two.)
