Itinerary:
The Upper Hooch is a classic beginner canoeing and kayaking stream. Its relatively short, has an easy shuttle, nice scenery and fun rapids. It can be run at just about all levels from ridiculously scrapy to screaming high flood stage, depending on the boaters skills of course. At low flows its a class two stream. Around 1500 to 2500 cfs its easy class 3.
