The ideal streamflow range is between 150-1000 cfs, with 300-500 cfs being the optimal range for experienced paddlers. The river is rated as a Class II-III, with several rapids and obstacles throughout the 19-mile segment from the confluence of the Clearwater River to the northwestern corporate boundary of Anoka.

Some of the notable rapids include "Pinball", "Pinch", "Roller Coaster", and "Island Rapids". There are also several logjams and strainers that paddlers should be aware of.
