"When planning a trip you need to decide what sort of classification of water you’re comfortable with doing and also then research the trip and what sort of classification you expect to see out there. Rivers are classed between one and six, most of the time you’re hovering around two, three and four. Down to my right here you have a class two section of white water and off to my left you have a class one section, pretty easy moving water. Class three starts to get a little more complicated, requires a little more skill from the raft guide and the crew and there are limits options for negotiating your way down a class three rapid. Class four rapids are more difficult, the risk of injury is higher, you have to have a better understanding of how to maneuver your raft around and be fairly experienced. Class five is really expert only, you have a serious risk of injury, very limited options on where to go on the river and the routes to take and then class six is supposed to be un-runable, class six, serious risk of injury or death, uh, typically not run from a rafting standpoint recreationally.
