After the put-in is a quick warm up rapid before Coin Slot (V+) which is normally portaged on either side. Some class IV rapids lead to Adrenaline, the second class V+. Portage on the left. After Adrenaline, a fun slot drop is followed by some play spots. The last mile is flat. The take-out for Day Stretch is the put-in for the Honeymooner.
