The Frenchman Reservoir to NF Boundary section of the Whitewater River Run in Nevada is a Class III-IV whitewater run with a segment mileage of approximately 8 miles. The ideal streamflow range for this section is between 500-1500 cfs, with the best time to run it being in the spring when snow melt increases the water levels. The river is known for its challenging rapids and obstacles such as the "The Notch" and "The Ledge," which require skilled maneuvering to navigate.

In terms of regulations, all boaters are required to obtain a permit from the Plumas National Forest and adhere to specific guidelines such as carry-in-carry-out trash policies and no camping within 100 feet of the river bank. There are also restrictions on the use of motorized watercraft in certain areas of the river.
