Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

This reach is runnable at about 200 cfs, though drops will be scrapy. Ideal flows are those above about 450 cfs.

NOTICE!!!

The majority of this reach lies within the tribal lands of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians. The current status of Tribal Law disallows access to this reach from any tribal lands. This largely means this reach should be considered OFF LIMITS until or unless arrangements and agreements are otherwise worked out. Just as with the Menomonee Tribe, punishment (if you are caught) can include not only a fine and/or imprisonment, but also confiscation of all material items used in commission of the trespass. This could include not only your boat and gear, but the vehicles you used for the shuttle!

In the past there has been the recommendation that (before paddling this reach) paddlers should secure permission from one of the tribal conservation officers, Joseph Miller or James Davids. (They can be reached during business hours at (715) 793-4809.) However, reports are that all such requests are currently being denied.
