At medium flows this is a great run for intermediate paddlers. The hardest rapid of the run is located just downstream of the put in, it can be easily scouted, portaged, or you can put in below it. Most of the rapids on this run are located with in the first 2.5 miles. For a short afternoon put in at the most upstream portion of Milo McIver Park and take out at the most downstream portion. Below Milo McIver Park the river slows down and turns into pool drop class II until you reach the take out at Barton County Park.
