The ideal streamflow range for this run is between 300-700 cfs, with the higher end of the range being more suitable for experienced paddlers. The class rating for the Whitewater River Run is Class II-III, with a few rapids and obstacles that require some skill to navigate.
One noteworthy feature of this run is the "Maze," a series of boulder gardens that requires precise maneuvering to navigate safely. Another obstacle is "The Rock," a large boulder that creates a hydraulic and requires careful attention to avoid flipping.
There are no specific regulations for this area, but it is recommended that paddlers wear personal flotation devices and helmets and pack out all trash. Additionally, it is important to be aware of private land boundaries and to respect them.
