RedactedNarrative: A group of kayakers had issues travelling South of the River.  There had been two days previous of heavy rain.  The river had risen causing a narrow portion of the river, located about 1/4 mile above the pond to become turbulent - described as "rapids". Once they began to transverse through the rapids several of the individuals in the party had their kayaks overturned.  Three of the vessels were a total loss but there were no injuries.  Everyone was wearing a life jacket.  Kayaks were not recovered.  Owners had very little information on the kayaks.  What is listed is all the information they had in regards to the kayaks.
