Loved the river, good rapids even in the drought. However, the staff needs training in interpersonal skills. First they hadn't apportioned the people to the vehicles and no one seemed to know what to do. Then we got to the river and they had forgotten the gas for the motor so the whole trip they had to row the oared boats and it took an extra hour.
But really my complaint is that when we raft in the east, the guides create a sense of community among the rafters. Perhaps because we chose the oared boat rather than the paddle, but there was no conversation. Even at lunch, people stood around in the group they had come with and didn't talk to each other. It felt weird, especially since we spent so much time in the flat water sections where there is nothing to do but chat.
You should know that it is an hour and half ride in a vehicle to and from the put in/take out. You will go back in the same vehicle you come in so you can bring dry clothes and change in the outhouse at the take out. I wish the woman at the desk had told me these things when I asked her where we should park our car. It is cold going back in an air conditioned car and wet clothes.
