Did stretch between Sorlens Mill and Upper Sioux Agency Park in Kayaks in early June 2015 at 440 cfs. Frequent boulder bed rapids throughout the route. Some areas of the river were quite shallow at this level. Would not recommend running below 400 cfs and even at that level you may hang up on a sandbar or two.

Have done this stretch in a canoe in the past as well. Need a minimum of 600 cfs to canoe it without getting stuck.

This is a very scenic and exciting stretch of river!
