comments	I am the friend mentioned in the comment on 2008-03-31 and I would suggest that anyone attempting to run this river wait for a gauge reading of no less than 3.0. Even at that level it will be a bump and grind trip. On 2008-03-30 we tried to run the Lost River (town) to Rt. 55 bridge section. The guage reading was listed as 2.6 on this website. We spent 2 hours of bumping and draging our kayaks to cover less than 4 miles of river! We then decided to abort the trip. This river needs to be at 3.4 or better to provide an enjoyable trip. Also, the put in across from the Lost River General Store is now blocked by electric fence on the road side of the river. If you decide to park at the Methodist Church parking lot and go down over the bank to get on the river, you will need to negotiate a nasty length of barbed wire placed across the river, which a local farmer has kindly provided. Watch out for additional wires every mile or so after that.
