PG&E will be increasing flows in a portion of the North Fork Feather River this weekend, they are urging the public to use extra caution during whitewater recreation. PG&E said that during the higher flows, the Poe Reach of the river will contain Class III, IV and V rapids, which they say are only appropriate for skilled paddlers, and not appropriate for tubing. The Poe Reach is a 7.6-mile section of the river in the Plumas National Forest in Butte County, between PG&E’s Poe Dam near Pulga and the Poe Powerhouse just upstream of Lake Oroville.
