Description[edit | edit source]

Floating the middle current is an excellent option when there is a desire for peace and quiet but the schedule only permits a saturday float.

Swift currents enable determined floaters to tackle this 18 mile section with much less paddling effort than might be expected. There are additional access points at Jerktail Landing and Williams Landing, but outfitters do not usually have the volume to justify regular afternoon shuttle pickups at those locations. The outfitter at Two Rivers Campground may have limited availability for morning drop off at Jerktail or Williams Landing, if a shorter float in to Two Rivers is desired.

An early start is always recommended, but for this section particularly, paddlers can enjoy quiet and smooth water before outboard jet boats start to become more prevalent in the early afternoon. The horsepower limit on this section is 60hp for jet units and 40hp for propeller boats. Some rules for Sharing the Water will enable paddlers and boaters to interact safely, minimizing opportunities for conflict.
