The only down side (in my opinion) is that
it is a bit crowded in summer. They allow 160 people (commercial and
private combined) on the river each day. There can be some contention
for the best camping spots. The other negative is that they allow jet
boats on the lower 12 miles or so.

Hi Randy :

Are jet boats ( or skis ? ) allowed on the "wild and scenic" sections ? If so, I'd be appalled as the intent of the Nat. Wild &
Scenic Rivers Act is to preserve rivers in their natural state. Now I understand that even paddling has some impact, but jet boats
are in a whole other category and IMO have such a negative impact as to defeat the purposes of the Act.
