Great river rafting outfit. Everyone from owner to staff were easy to talk to and gave us clear tips as to how to handle the Rapids and drop offs. My guest and I are both 70 but fearless.
We opted for a 2 person kayak. The craft was highly maneuverable but with the fast current, we mostly drifted and only paddled to keep the bow perpendicular to the rapids.
I jumped in but had to beach the kayak while swimming. Water was about 68-70 .
Difficult if not impossible to swim because of the fast current.
All in all a great float. Took us 1 3/4 hours.
Stay to the right when you get close to the takeout or the current will pull you further downstream
Great big bathrooms with plenty of space to change
