Looking for beta for the Poudre

Hello all,

My girlfriend and I are looking to run some sections of the Poudre, as the flows have decreased. We R2 paddle a little 9' ft boat and our skill level would intermediate, III+, at most.
Could anyone recommended any sections that would be a good ride down? I know the filter plant section is a good intermediate, but what about sections upstream?
We are thinking of this weekend (7/19,20). If anyone would like to join up let me know. We are responsible people, just looking for a fun time. PM or call six one 5 five 0 four 6 three five 0

Thank you!
Jared

Filter plant is a beginner run. I would say at/under 3' it's all 3+ from stevens down.
stevens down

poudre park (pineview) and upper mish is a 3+ at 3ft? wow i fell like a wuss

At 3' you can punch the hole in pineview so there really isn't any move to make and it ends in basically a pool. sounds like class 3 to me. Why would you call it class 4?
We are running Rustic tomorrow if interested. Duckies and a R2er. Daniel 303-525-5363
yes in a kayak its class three, but in a raft the fun (carnage) begins below 3 feet when the tooth starts coming out. The tooth flips more rafts than the hole ever does. And that dreaded rock flips with style. Unless a person likes flipping a large floating undercut near some manky rock, class stays at class 4 to me. Back paddle is your friend when maneuvering around that bad boy. r2 ing should be easy.
