Time estimates only account for paddling time on water, and do not include rest stops. All times are estimations and can vary considerably depending on river flow, wind direction, and paddlers’ skill levels. Water levels, floods and ice jams are continually changing the characteristics of this river. Rapids transform with every change in water level and new hazards such as strainers and log jams can appear at any time. This is a general guide of what you might find, but it is up to the paddlers to scout and use their own judgement.  Remember that the aerial photos make the rapids look small in the pictures. They are much larger than they look!
