Cool, I'm kayaking the middle fork next June. 120 mile section

Unless you start on Marsh Creek, it's only 100 miles (actually 99.7
according to the forest service). June may offer high-water.

Another boater from our club is arranging it all since she went
last year. You only get on average one class IV rapid per day, but the
scenery makes up for it.

Depending on your definition of class 4. Even at high water,
all the so-called class 4 rapids except Velvet have a clear route
visible from eye level in a raft. Some kayakers and kayak-oriented
guidebook writers feel that high water suddenly transforms class 3
into class 4 rapids. I'm undecided on this matter.


I've only been there once, at low water (we were able to put in at
Marsh Creek, but our support rafts had to put in downstream). At that
level, there was nothing that I would call a serious Class III. A few
easy Class IIIs maybe, but nothing challenging to a Class III boater.
