A lot of rain is needed to make this river worth running. The river starts at a large pool. It gets narrow by trees before the bridge. After the bridge there is a boulder garden for a short section and leads into the first drop the slot. Make sure to stay river left as the right line has a dangerous tree on it.
The next drop is the main drop and has a big stopper in the middle and can be seen from the road before getting on. From here on the river only has a few 2 foot drops and a nice play spot at the get out.
