| Gauge Reading | 150 cfs at WATAUGA RIVER NEAR SUGAR GROVE, NC |
| Flow | Low Runnable |
We enjoyed a chill great day on the Watauga. Having heard that 150 was more enjoyable post-Helene, we thought we'd check it out. It was indeed really fun. There were a couple spots where we bumped rocks, but most of the rapids and run was flowy and clean and fun. The Watauga remains a classic post-helene. Scouting and boat scouting was easy at this level.
