I had to write a review about this place after my group was torn about going after reading some reviews about how dirty this place made them feel and how they were tore up from rocks. So we envisioned way dirty water that was a trickle at places with rocks in too shallow water where we would have to go done in single file. We were ready for the worst but it's really not that bad. \n\nIt was never less than 10 yards or so wide. Yes, people do loose their trash like beer cans but it's not as trash filled as other places like the beach or the park. They do throw giant marshmallows so you will encounter mushiness. And people are peeing in the river, (are you surprised?) but it's moving water, so it's like nature's toilet anyway (like the ocean). And most everyone is drunk but I know there is a lot more stupid going on in any bar on any sat or Fri night. So, basically, if you are prissy about being things being dirty, and are one of those people that can't have a little fun with other drunk people and look down on them for doing stupid things, you will not have a good time. FYI, you will also not have any fun in places like NYC or most dive bars which you will think is dirty. Most of the people are just lazing down the river with their friends. \n\nI would like to give some tips and warning: Bring water, rope to tie your rafts together, water shoes, spray on sun block, food/snacks and a DD. I have never EVER seen so many cops out on my 20 mile drive back to our place in my life. There were check points, and 3 cop cars pulling over 1 car, and people with their hands hand cuffed behind their backs. It's serious guys, don't mess with it.  Also, you will not notice how drunk you are until you stand up, so be careful not to drown.
