St. Louis

Took my packraft for a walk! Parked on the road. Finishing CFS on the gauge was \\\~410. There was a river wide beaver dam about a mile in that I was able to find a tongue through (sketchy), probably would have to be portaged at any lower levels. After that, it was mostly clear. Lots of wood to dodge and almost every rapid was really bumpy but passable! A half a mile from the bridge, the river splits into two, the river left channel is steep, but would go. I took the right channel but it ended in a river wide strainer that I easily portaged around. Right before the end was the most fun, splashiest rapid, around a corner. I wouldn’t call 400-450 “high runnable” i‘d call it ”low runnable”. Would be fun to check out this section at higher flows, it was up to 800 recently.
