River Description

Great class III run, Dennis Menice and Double Falls stand out as III+, but there are lots of fun II-III rapids.

 

This run is about one hour NE of Ukiah.  Southside road is good for shuttle from put-in to take-out. Northside road is the best way to the put-in and the best road home.
