Once upon a time, I wanted to do the Forks whitewater run. I think I've gotten too old, disliking cold water in my face :>)

River Difficulty
The California Salmon river is a solid class V river. The river is primarily pool and drop, which means it has rapids that are followed by calms. Nearly two dozen legitimate rapids of varying degrees of difficulty pepper this run. Long, powerful and challening class IV and/or V rapids are encountered on each day.

River Difficulty Scale: Class I is flat water and Class VI is unrunnably difficult. Class II has current with small waves and some obstacles.Class III rapids are fun and thrilling, ideal for first-time and experienced rafters. Class IV whitewater is great for experienced rafters and reasonable for fit first-timers who have had some warm-up in class III. Class V is very difficult and for experienced river rafters.
