River Description

From a comment, 2009:
There are two decent rapids on the upper stretch of the river. One is a class III (maybe) called Bacon Falls, which I have found to be best when the river is around 4 1/2. The other is a slide with a pretty decent hole at the bottom.
You can also shorten the trip by using the public access at Barger Springs but keep in mind the rapids worth running are on the upper half so if I was going to shorten I would run from Talcott to Barger Springs because there really isn't much after that.

I went to a spot in this section yesterday. It was a slide into a hole pretty much all the across
the river. I was told its called linsey falls. It was a pretty cool, chill, park and play spot had
easy surfs to catch. To the river left the wave can get low so watch your head if you roll. But
river right wave is real fun. I ran it at 3.8.
