Flow expected to be below 300 cfs (@ usgs cloverdale), making the river occasionally swift, generally slow, bumpy & requiring forward paddling. Launch kayaks at Comminsky Station Road, about 5 miles north of Cloverdale. Meet at Cloverdale River Park north Cloverdale. This is about a 5 mile river run. The moving time on river about 2.5 hours. Mostly sunny weather forecast, water is cool.

What to Bring: Boat, Paddle, safety Gear, PFD (must be worn while on the water), helmet, drinking water, snacks, dry change of clothes in your car for after the paddle. Weather forecast to be mid 60's to 78. Wetsuit optional as air & water temps will be pleasant. Paddlers should dress adequately for any unintentional swims.

This section of the river is moderately difficult but not too dangerous for the experienced paddler, scenic but not remote, easily accessible but not crowded. There are many technical class II+ rapids, rocks & strainers to navigate along the way.

Parking / Launch Fees/ parking fee @ Cloverdale river park.
