A self-supported trip created by guest-paddler

Trip Overview

River is low right now so be ready to navigate shallow spots. Even in rafts need to watch out hitting bottom. Not hard to walk through those spots though. There are a few fun rapid areas. All gentle enough for kids. Current was slow so if rafting plan on a long day. We canoed and ported about 5 times (heavy canoe). It was a beautiful trip though! Stopped and had picnic lunch. Friendly people on River was an added plus.
