River Description

There are two main rapids on this reach. Snaptail Rapids (II-III) lies in the river channel where a bypass canal diverts water to a dam. Two lakes intervene, then Goose Eye Rapids (II-III) is encounered. Smaller (class I) rips are interspersed. A final flowage leads to Winter Dam, the suggested take-out. Best gradient is found in the 1.5 miles from Fishtrap Lake Rd bridge to Hunter Lake.

Gauge

Gauge Description:

*The listed gauge is downstream of the "Winter Dam", and consequently reflects regulated flow. Numerous other dams punctuate this and other rivers in the area. As such, it is of dubious value in accurately gauging flow in any other boatable reaches. It is included here primarily as it may help indicate when flows are high (I.E., if they 'have to' dump water from the dam).
