Hey peeps,
I'm thinking about exploring the Cedar with my children tomorrow. How challenging is it? Is wood an issue? What's a good takeout for a three- to five-mile stretch?
Any beta would be really helpful.
Thank you!

Better late than never.
Super shallow, not tons of difficult rapids but the shallow nature makes it a bit more technical for kids. Tons of wood everywhere. The lower river below 18 is where most of the wood collects. Still above 18 often has a few trees down. Not sure about this year though.

I've heard it's woody as s*%&! For the downriver portion of the Cedar river race*, they were requiring strong class III skills.
*However, I don't think they ever ran the DR part that day . . .

As far as i remember nothing more chalenging then what is at the beginning in the slolem thing- it's not very wide through most. I dont remember bad wood hazards except some at the takeout- it's reletive. How old are the kids- ect. I'd consider it. Do a quick scout run some time.
