Trip Report

I ran the section below the dam back in '01 at flood stage somewhere around 15'. Looking back at some of the dumber things I have done, I now realize that this was pretty high up. I remember accidentally dropping into a hole that was as big as a small car, fortunately my 90's boat was bigger and I punched through. I have paddled a lot of bigger water since then but this section is full of hidden hazards which include debris/ rebar from construction of the dam I assume. Its just not worth getting impailed or strained! If you are thinking about it... Go to Weldon instead
