We floated from Dora creek to the Humboldt county line yesterday. 13 miles class II with 4 rapids that were alittle harder and one portage around a low water bridge.
Flows were perfect but I would not do it much lower. Great scenery!

| Did you note the flow you ran it at? Would you recommend rafting it? Where do you put in and take out exactly?

| Flow was 630cfs on the Leggett gauge. I would recommend rafting it for sure at higher flows maybe 1000+. Put in at Hwy 1 bridge about 5 miles up river of Dora creek or at Dora creek which is a creek that comes into the Eel at a Day Use area. Best take out is off exit 625 dirt road under hwy 101 to the river bar this take out cuts out about 5-6 miles of class 1+ to the Humboldt county line bridge and the portage around the low water bridge.
