Running this section of Oak Creek provides paddlers with excellent scenery and lots of technical challenge. The rapids along this section are mainly class II-III depending on water levels. The real challenge in this segment of the river is the strainers and tree hazards that can arise which require skillful paddling to navigate. The river is more challenging when water levels are high and should only be attempted by more advanced paddlers during these times. The take-out can be on either side of the river but river right is within a state park and requires a fee whereas the left side take-out follows a dirt road to a parking area that is free.
