| SHUTTLE: | ? and Sunset Road, to CTH.E |
| DIST: | 2.5 miles |
| TIME: | 1.0 hour |
| CLASS: | I-II |
| CHARACTER: | Continuous class I-II. |
| GAUGE: | Visual. May have some correlation with Prairie River (7 miles East). Our run had it at 234 cfs, and was a low level. |
| SEASON: | Spring/rains. |
| Fairly evenly distributed gradient, fairly consistant riverbed width, depth, and makeup (boulder bed) make this pleasant little river a quick paddle (when it has adequate water). There are a couple places of special 'concern' or interest, easily noticed and negotiated. Rocky outcroppings make this a slightly more scenic run than the New Wood (4 miles to the North). |
