I basically live on the Klick during the summer, and if you're not a "veteran," the best advice I can give you is to stay from Lidle down. You can put it around "1-lane" bridge, but this is to be handled by excellent oarsmen as well as those who know the river well.

If you launch at Lidle, it's a very short drift to Stinson, with only one "touchy" spot which is around the first corner you come to. Usually we go right, but from what I've heard so far it's better to stick left. There's one good tumbler as you approach Stinson, but hit it straight on and you'll bust right through.

If you decide to go down to either the Slide-In launch or Icehouse, you'll be pretty safe all the way through. Truly the only spot you need to watch out for is the last corner as you approach Icehouse, which is followed by some land mines all the way up to the Icehouse launch.

Hopefully this helps, and if not let me know, I can help out more!!
