Itinerary description

This is a great beginner River for paddling. It has a few sections that can get up to a class 3 rating depending on the time of year but for the most part it will only have class 2. You are also running parallel to the highway the whole way in case you run into trouble.

Very scenic and lots of great picture opportunities along the way.
