I live on the river in Ben Lomond and do this run regularly in the winter. 250cfs at the Felton gauge would be a bare minimum and over 1200 a few of the dams get big drops with nasty consequences. I just did the run today, 2-18-09 at 350 cfs (read at Felton gauge and the run is a fun class II+ with no portages until just above my house near Highlands Park due to a few trees across a flat stretch of the river. I cant imagine the run at 6000cfs though, thats nuts. I did the Ben Lomond to Felton run the other day at close to 2000 and everything was washed out including the ledge drop below Highlands Park and the run was boring at that flow because there were no rapids. I prefer the Boulder Creek run and would recommend it to a class III boater.Carl solarcruzer@yahoo.com
