are not very forgiving. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your camp stove too. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good rivers for that around here.
There are plenty of other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well.
