The section of the Farmington River known as Crystal lives up to the guide book descriptions: it's a 2.5 mile section of class II rapids separated by areas of slow moving flat water. The separation between rapids becomes less towards the end of the run, finishing with two solid class II sections.

It's a fun run with plenty of rocks, making it a great place to work the river and practice catching eddies, ferrying, and surfing. We ran it with a group of other kayakers, and then ran it a again at our own speed. It was a great day on the river, and now our arms are tired!
