Class II

Class II (Novice). This size rapid is great for splashing passengers who’ve fallen asleep in the boat after lunch. Rarely more than a few splashy waves up to three feet high and a few rocks, all of which can be easily avoided, Class II rapids rarely have names, but they do have an obvious channel through the rocks and waves for boaters of most skill levels. Watch your camera. Keep your paperback novel out of the spray, and have fun. (Yahoo Factor: Yelping when the cold water splashes you awake is allowed.)
