7-26-09 Ran at 4.37. A few new strainers on the run about a 1/4 of the way down. can avoid without
portage. one tree is under the water a couple inches and didn't notice till It was to late and ran
over it by popping my bow up. keep you eye peeled Edit
Ran it at 4.6 yesterday and it was plenty fluid. I think 5 is a bit too high for a minimum level. I
think 4.5 is safe. I even rolled a few times yesterday and didn't hit any rocks.

Unless the gauge reads above 5.0 the New Boston section is likely too low. Edit
We drove up from southern NY on 3/14/08 since it's said the minimun is 3.8 and the gauge read 4.7.
We got there and it was too low. I didn't think ice on the gage would be an issue since we have had
warmer weather than usaul.I ended up paddling Bulls that day and met three others who said the same
thing happened to them recently. Otis Resevoir was releasing/spilling over as well, still it was
too low. I would suggest not going unless it just rained and/or someone can give you a visaul
comfirmation or your a short drive away.
