This is a great run for beginner paddlers. Mostly mellow water with two class III rapids, with swift moving class II in between. The first rapid is between the put-in and the bridge. The second rapid, Mad Dog, is after the bridge when the river takes a hard right turn. Consider scouting this rapid. Beware of the diversion dam downstream of the take-out at Picnic Rock.
