Gauge
Gauge Description:
Listed minimum is for 'experienced' whitewater boaters. The reach is floatable much lower, but will generally be (again, for experienced whitewater boaters) a tame 'rock-dodge' run. (This may cause canoeists who are not experienced in whitewater, or boaters who do not have appropriate whitewater craft, to consider this reach very difficult and near scary at most water levels!)
