Description:
This section is a narrow river with some fun rapids. From the entry point there is a short paddle to a left bend and the largest rapid on the section. The river drops over a ledge and into a pool. The rapid should be inspected from river right as logs often end up in the bottom on the rapid. The pool at the bottom can be swirly in higher water. The rapid can be portaged on river right by less experienced paddlers. After this rapid there are a series of fun grade 2 rapids and pretty scenery until the exit is reached. An old bridge crosses the river immediately prior to the exit point and should not be confussed with the road bridge. The river flows through farm land and the water should not be drunk.
