You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, you can easily run it on an afternoon.
