We will be running Sec.9 to Stackhouse. This is a class II-III section that is good for more advanced beginners and intermediate paddlers. It has fast flowing rapids with waves, holes, and shoots that require good boat control. This is one of the most popular river sections in the area for a reason. It is a lot of fun and a little bit of a challenge. There are multiple spots that are great for stopping for lunch or taking pictures so bring some snacks and a camera if you like.
