Davidson River

Trip report: I put in at the confluence of looking glass creek at the bridge. I ran the rive 3 times on 3 separate days with the levels 3’-2’. I took out at sycamore flats. The run is a nice mostly chill float with some wave trains and a few holes. The lower the water the more dodging rocks and the less boogie water. In my opinion the lowest level I would run it is 2’. I was scraping whenever the river splits, like at coontree. Any lower and you would be hiking the boat.

There are 2 major trees across the river as of June 2018. One requires ducking under a tree on river right. (Might not be possible at +3’) this is in between coontree and shut in pulloffs.

The next is just before the takeout. 100 yards up stream of sycamore flats. This is river wide. You will go over it at 2.5 and up.

Pictures of both are on this site.

I also paddled a Jackson sup so my experience might feel a lot different with a kayak.
