Class IIEasy Does It - Moderate waves, clear passages

Class IVThrilling- Powerful waves, big drops
Class VAwesome - big waves, technical drops and steep grade- This grade has powerful water, constricted channels, steep drops and the possibility of overturning a raft. Paddling is challenging and requires some previous river experience.
