Due to the timing of our trip, we ran it at above the recommended level. We are skilled whitewater kayakers and enjoyed it. We are not familiar with the run at lower levels. You might check with the American Whitewater Website or a local kayak outfitter for recommendations. Hope you get on it and have a great time!

What length are your Dagger Stratos? We are both experienced paddlers. Do you suggest sea kayaks for levels 1500-3000? Below 1500 we will likely use canoes. Any thoughts for us?

Part of the challenge is that it is a long rapid. You can scout and portage on river left. If you are unsure, definitely scout it and make sure you scout the whole rapid.
