Ran this today. It was a little over three feet on the gage where we parked our cars for the take out. You can use the Alipine parking lot as the put-in or drive up another mile for whats refered to as "the miracle mile". It has a lot more action than the other...4 or 5 miles? Although the 2nd half is tamer, beware, there's a ledge drop that goes practically straight across the whole river. At the level we paddled, it's not a problem if you paddle straight and keep speed but if you drop down, as one person did, you will probably need assisstance to get out. The person circulated for a while in kayak, the person did a wet exit and both boat and person was held there. Person out out and was fine via a throw rope. After a few minutes drybag and airbag was extrcted with the use of a long heavy branch. It took three men to use said stick. I think the kayak got spit out by itself but after quite some time. So, just be aware of this drop. There is a sneak on the extreme river left hugging the bank but I heard it's not a good choice at higher levels. A fun run, some great drop, plenty of play. A bit harder than the Tohican at three-something feet we did today. I'm told that over five this gets much harder and the holes get sticky. To get there from highway 80 take 209 N to 447N. I think 447 took one left turn by Shawnee Resort or inn and a right a little further down. As long as you follow 447N, your good. I'll have one of the people I paddled with to check this for accuracy
