Likely too low; There could be random areas with enough concentrated flow for play. We need additional input. Add a comment or report. Virtual gauge approximates possible flow in this reach, normally dewatered by penstock. Actual flow must be confirmed by on-site inspection.


River Description

The first 1.4 miles is the class III-IV part and is a significantly dewatered reach with a lot of action packed into a short distance. (Beware metal debris in river.) The remaining 3.9 miles is a paddle out with light rapids. (Some boaters may opt to just carry back up along the penstock.)
