No long drive or shuttle, so a great choice for a busy summer weekend. 
 
Meet at Brown Bridge Landing at 9AM to unload boats & gear. If you have a cart, bring it for the stairs. Do not leave valuables in your car. After unloading, we will shuttle to the 2 take-outs: 1) Beitner, for less experienced paddlers, and 2) Oleson Bridge, for those paddling the Beitner Rapids. If you are going to paddle the rapids, you need to be prepared to get wet if you don't have a kayak skirt. Carts are handy for the haul up to the Oleson Bridge parking lot, too. This trip should take approx 3-4 hrs. We will get an early start so we can avoid the crowds as the day warms. Bring your PFD, paddle, bow & stern lines, water, snack & appropriate clothing in a dry bag.
 
If inclement weather, this paddle could be cancelled, so call me before you leave home if uncertain.
