comments	As of late 2007 there are a few river-wide logs between the portal and the cemetery access. We've been able to paddle over them with no difficulty, but the farther upstream you are the more attention you should devote to logs and strainers. I'd also suggest that a maximum level of 8 feet on the Cold Brook guage is a bit conservative. Last October we made a high water run and the guage was at 9.6' (about 6000 cfs) when we passed it. Things were fast and pushy, with lots of very big waves, but not much more difficult than at more typical levels. Official flood stage is at 11', but at any high level you should be extra vigilant for new strainers as well as moving logs and strainers.
