You can only do this extra section during very high water years because the Power plant diverts most of the water along this stretch. 2.

There is also a public access point on racheria rd. There is a little trail to get there just past the gated community gates. I believe there is still a sign. It's not a long hike. That point gives you 5 miles of very fun class II and III rapids, swimming areas, rope swings, etc. Be aware that many people have died along this se... |

In heavy rain it could come down. It looks unstable.... |
