| Dee to Tucker Bridge - East Fork on the Hood River |
For the first couple of miles this run consists of class III+/IV pool drop rapids. One of the hardest rapids on the run is .5 miles below the put in. After you pass the confluence with the West Fork of the Hood the river becomes continuous class III, at higher water this section becomes class IV with a very big water feel. The next significant rapid is shortly before you reach the take out at Tucker Bridge were the river splits around an island and most of the water goes through the right channel. Take out at Tucker Bridge.
