| Don't underestimate this river, there have been many serious injuries on all the main rapids including Split Hair, Judy's Hole, Dunbar Brook, False Tooth, Dragons Tooth and Labrynth. Most of these required rescue by emergency personnel and surgery. Almost all injuries happened to kayakers who did not have a rock solid roll and were injured after doing a wet exit. Don't be next, if you don't have a never failing roll don't paddle this river! |

Great event on a beautiful 2-3 river with easier alternatives and other activities. The whole weekend takes place in Jamaica State Park. We’ve got 3 campsites (Fri-Mon), all a short distance from the shuttle. Reservations will open up when we get closer (like early summer) at about $20pp. For about $25/day the park service loads you and your boat into a truck and runs you 3 miles up the dirt road. No racks, cars, resetting shuttle, just paddle, eat and adjust your gear, ride, repeat. For those not inclined to paddle all day, the park includes a rail trail to walk or bike up to view the paddling and hikes to waterfalls. Kids are typically running a bit wild on bikes and foot.
