The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often easier than in other states, so don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling places. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. The nearby hotels are a bit away from
the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This is a somewhat short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well.
