Paddled in Aug 2023 Water level was 199 cfs which was below minimum. The first 1.4 mile was technical and rocky. There is a creek to the right below this called Warrior Creek that has a little waterfall and ruins of an old bridge. Some good class 1 & 2 rapids which would be 3's at higher water. After that it was flat water. Lots of flat water...about 4 miles of it. Sandy in the middle of the river. We had to walk a couple of times. Then it picked up a little moving water and some more rapids at the end. Take out is either before or after the bridge pilings on river left. Small parking area (maybe 3 cars).

March 2026. The gate is now unlocked and the Union Hwy Access is an official access now that is paved and has 3 parking spaces. The road is wide enough to park cars to unload.
