Gauge Description:

The closest real-time gauge is White Salmon at Underwood. Many paddlers, however, go by the staff gauge at Husum and paddle this section at a minimum of 3' (it gets harder and less fun with lower flows as more rocks become exposed and a couple drops get too bony). An estimate of this gauge based on correlation to the Underwood gauge can be found on Pat Welch's site. For reference, a flow of 3' corresponds to approximately 1150 cfs on the Underwood gauge. While these estimates are useful for planning, the decision to paddle should be based on personal inspection of the flow.

As of 10/5/08 there is a log in the left side of the little island drop after Off Ramp. The way this is wedged in there, it probably won't move in high water and may become submerged and hard to see. With this log the left side is unrunnable.
