Well if you mean Upper Richland, it's class III - IV, and its solid stuff. But if you're comfortable enough in your playboat to run it then you shouldn't have any issues. People run it in playboats alot. It's obviously harder to punch the holes...but that's a personal call you'd have to make for yourself. It's a really fun creek though.

I haven't run lower, so I can pitch in on that run.

actually in my opinion playboats are better for higher water on richland than low water.
