River Description
Well, its there, but I don't know anyone who has run it. There is a dirt road on river left that
runs beside the river. From the vantage point of the road you can see a number of undercut boulder
sieves. After that you can look forward to a long lake paddle.

I have an Excel 2000 spreadsheet that predicts the levels for South Sauty and several other rivers
in the southeast. If you'd like a copy of this spreadsheet e-mail me at
H2Olevelcheck@boatingbeta.com and I will send it to you. I only check this address weekly, so
pardon me if I don't get back to you right away.
