Fun Rapid at Weldon
| Reporter | Zach Schiada |
| Flow | Medium Flow |
Ran today with 2700 cfs upstream and 18 ft downstream. This was a good combo for the big drop at the end. We also checked out the far left channel and then around the island. There was not quite enough water to be good, but it was somewhat interesting. Mostly class 1 in this channel and we paddled around the big island and back upstream to the boat ramp. No rapids down there but the current is strong and it’s a tough paddle back upstream.
