Gauge

Gauge Description:

While runnable at lower flows, it becomes less of a whitewater run. For "fun" flows look for 700 cfs or better. As the gradient is fairly regular, there may be no effective maximum.

Disclaimer: Be aware that indication of a 'runnable' level by the gauge does not necessarily mean that the river is runnable. In winter, gauge readings may be 'ice affected'. Sections of the river may be impassable due to ice. Use discretion for winter and early spring runs.
