Just an FYI on the recommended levels posted - 4 ft. is definitely not maximum recommended flow for
this stretch, but would be closer to minimum recommended flow. 2 ft. would be a very shallow, rocky
level on this stretch. I recommend 6 ft. and above for a true upper Lochsa experience (we've run it
as high as 10 ft. on the Lowell Gauge and it was a blast).
