Summary
The section features a series of technical rapids, including Big Kahuna and Lunch Counter, that require strong paddling skills and quick decision-making. The best time to float this section is during late spring and early summer, when the water levels are moderate and the snowmelt provides ideal flow rates. The recommended flow rate for the Narrows River Run is between 8,000 and 14,000 cfs. Paddlers should be prepared for cold water and swift currents, and it is recommended to have a guide or experienced paddler in the group.
