River Description
Hike as far as you want upstream on a good trail and paddle back out to your vehicle. Scout for wood from the trail and while on the water. Paddlers should expect Class IV rapids depending on the level.
Ben Clack shared:
The upper run is very much worth your while. An old "I-III" rating only applies to the
lower reaches several miles below the campground. Hike in above campground about 3 miles or so to
about 1/4mile past the bridge. You will be rewarded with several class IV drops, and one V-,
depending on flows of course. Flows above 650 or so are OK, but I prefer around 900 or so for a
creeky feel, big water feel anything above 1200 or so. WATCH FOR WOOD, also be aware this is
Grizzly country.
