This section of river isn’t for most. I can say I have been down it from 27 feet above flood level down to a trickle (as shown here). I have taken friends and have paddled it solo. My saying is “this river “giveth and she taketh away” as I have lost tons of gear and have and have tested friendships with each trip. With that said, there is not place I’d rather be and the price of admission is ALWAYS worth it.
