In seasons other than Spring flood, is the river floatable by today's large river rafts?

What is your feeling about flying ultralight aircraft home?



No the river does not freeze. It is too fast and deep.

Yes, large river rafts guided by pros take thrill seekers on a trip down the river. It is highly regulated due to the danger.

An ultralight is out of question for many reasons, chiefly it does not fit in the trunk of the car...

Here is a brief video of the river. It shows how fast the water can flow.
