One-Tenth Mile Upstream Of Crabtree Trailhead To 0.15 Mile Downstream Of Road 4n26b
This run is classified as Class IV-V, meaning it is only suitable for expert paddlers. The segment mileage for this run is approximately 2.5 miles, with several challenging rapids and obstacles such as the Toilet Bowl and The Maze. Due to the high difficulty level, it is recommended that paddlers have prior experience and knowledge of whitewater navigation techniques.
Specific regulations to the area include a permit requirement for overnight camping, as well as restrictions on campfires and other potential environmental impacts. Additionally, the use of personal flotation devices is mandatory for all paddlers.
Sources such as American Whitewater and the US Forest Service were consulted for accuracy in compiling this information. It is important to note that due to the dynamic nature of water and weather conditions, paddlers should always exercise caution and prepare accordingly before embarking on any whitewater run.

Whitewater safety
- Check the flow before you run
- Use the linked-gauge card and Regional Flow panel above. Class ratings change with flow -- a Class III at low water can become Class IV+ at high water.
- Know your skill ceiling
- Pick runs comfortably below your ceiling. Cold-water and big-water runs raise the consequences of any mistake.
- Wear the right gear
- Helmet, PFD, drysuit / wetsuit when water is below 60°F. Throw bag, knife, and whistle on your person, not in the boat.
- Scout, set safety, and run with a team
- Scout new rapids on foot, set safety with throw bags above the consequence pool, and run with at least one other competent paddler.
- Respect the river
- Strainers, undercuts, low-head dams, and wood can kill at any class rating. When in doubt, portage.
