River Description

Briefly, Trout Run is a fast-moving stream of mostly continuous Class II-III water with a couple sections that reach Class IV in difficulty. Anyone running it should be prepared for the usual small stream demons - strainers, limited eddies, low water bridges, water flowing through trees along the bank, etc. In February, 2003, two groups that ran the stream reported no tree-induced portages, but some limbo.
