River Description
Latitude / Longitude data very approximate."Rioter" said, on Boater Talk, "I've never been on the water in Cross above about 4500 cfs. It's a solid IV at this level with some must-make moves. I've also paddled it as low as 300 cfs and it wasn't great (III-), but hey it's Cross! Just beware that Cross has a short season and when it starts to go it goes. I know some people that have hit it at high water (Barry Smith claims he has run it at 17,000 if my memory is correct). For me, I like it best around 2,000-2,500 cfs."
