I think i know the tree you're talking about...it's been there since the winter. If anyone is
interested in removing it on a day the level is low enough let me know.

Ran this section on May 17, 2009. Discovered a strainer completely blocking river well above the
first island, near the "main" parking on the gravel road, about halfway down the run. It is
possible to portage on river left. Edit

My buddy and I are in the process of removing this large strainer on the river left section and
eventually any others.

12/28/2008 there is a strainer blocking the river left line around the first island (usually the
more fun line). Be careful, because boat scouting this one is tough

Have run the Ken Lockwood Gorge twice now--both times with the So. Branch running at about 6.8 on
the gauge. Lots of fun! Yesterday (1/8/07) it was running at 7.9--the highest level since I've been
paying attention--and I drove through the gorge. It actually looked like it would have been a
significantly easier run than at lower levels where there are so many more rocks exposed. Waves
were not that much bigger. Be aware that NJ Fish and Game has plans to "improve" the access road
through the gorge and close it off to auto traffic. This will make scouting/shuttling through the
gorge impossible.
