River Description

The season for this run is generally April and May. It sometimes runs into June but generally tapers off by the end of the month. Because it's class II, this river is often overlooked with so many options in the spring but its a great run for instruction with some fun playspots to keep everyone happy as it flows through east side agricultural land. Over the course of the run there are a number of sandstone ledges that form great surfing waves that are the perfect size to learn on. Stay alert for wood hazards which shift from year to year.

5/21/2011 @ 1500cfs. What a fun level, we were wondering since it was above "recommended" level per
this site if the run would be washed out. To our surprise the level just made the surf waves bigger
and more abundant. The run was pretty clean verses the last couple of years, no portages, however
we did get out and look before heading through a couple of tiny passages with wood on both sides.
Great run - surfed our fanny's off.

As of spring 2007 the run was clean of wood aside from a few hazards along the side that were
possible to avoid.

It's also possible to put in on the Middle Fork or West Fork. The Middle Fork tends to get a lot of
deadfall. The West Fork is entertaining, as most of the channel is through smoothly-eroded rock -
it's like a big waterslide. The main problem with the West Fork is access, as it goes through
private land. If you put in above the campground, be aware that there will probably be a tree
across the river right after you put in.<br>

In early summer 2002, there were a couple of big trees down on the main Teanaway, but there was
plenty of time to get to the side, even at moderately high flows. None of the logjams we
encountered in the farm areas were a problem. The obvious braids were all runnable.
