About
This 17-mile Trip is a great way to spend a full day on the river and have a chance to relax, take in the sights and sounds and sun, and do a little fishing. The trip is mostly flat with a few rapids and good current. There is only one departure time for this trip 8:30 AM About 7 miles in you come across 2 types of rapids Class A and Class 1 explained below
Swifts / Class A Rapids
- Difficulty: Very Easy for experienced kayakers
Water & Obstacles:
The river will narrow forcing the same amount of water through a smaller channel. This makes the water move faster and you’ll see little white waves. Swifts often happen in parts of the river where the river bed gets shallow or where the river narrows. The whitewater in a swift is created by super small waves from the fast-moving water, unlike in a Class I or Class II rapid where the whitewater may be from water recirculating over a rock. There may be the occasional rock sticking out of a swift, but if there are lots of obstacles the rapid is probably a Class 1.
Class I Rapids
- Difficulty: Very Easy for experienced kayakers
Water & Obstacles:
In a Class I rapid, the volume of moving water is pretty low, so even if a canoe were to get broadside, novice paddlers still probably wouldn’t tip. Typically, it’ll either be shallow and the biggest challenge is to avoid shallow or exposed rocks. In this case, you’ll need to set a specific line down the rapid to avoid the rocks, we’d call this a Class I Technical rapid. On the other hand, the river could be quite deep, where the water is moving a little faster but there aren’t any obstacles.
