Even though Joe G has posted this, it is actually from an email by Justin Emmert (local boater) dated 1/28/2002. It is a comment on levels.
Justin's comments-The boiling hole can be played at just about any level. I played in it this summer at levels as low as .75 . I use the usgs gauge for levels. The best levels are 1.6 and above for running the river. i have run it as low as 1.2, but it was not a fun trip. Typically there is no problem with the local hicks this time of year when the river is running because they can't get their atv's across from their hangout on river right. I have not seen the sheriff's deputies since the public put in and take out were built. I would not park my car at the boiling hole like we used to though. If the river is at 1.6 and above like it should be this weekend, run the whole thing. It's a nice run. We ran it Sunday and had a great time. We will probably run it this weekend again, maybe Saturday and Sunday.. See you on the river.
