Far less often run than the section just upriver (from the dam to the powerhouse), this reach contains three relatively minor rapids. However, since this reach lies downstream of the powerhouse, it may be runnable (and could provide some minor play opportunities) at times when the upper reach is dewatered.
There is a NOAA gauge at the Hydro Plant.
The tabular data for which can be accessed at NOAA Hatfield Hydro.
While we can embed their graph here, we do not have access to reformat their data at this time.
