Description
In between the middle and lower takeouts
is a 30 minute paddle thru flatwater, quickwater, and a couple class I rapids.
Portaging and/or dragging over a tree or two is usually required since the current flow is never strong enough to wash away strainers. At medium and higher levels the few class I rapids in this section wash out.
