Otter Brook

Ran this section yesterday at 330 cfs. The upper section above the ski area was running great but got a little bony below. A little wood on the sides but nothing blocking the full river. Would take out at the ski area next time. Great intro creek with a couple drops and tricky turns!

Note that there are many strainers fallen fully or partially across the Upper Otter from storms in winter 2022/23.

The gauge on here is the same as the one for the lower stretch, I'm pretty sure its just the outflow from the dam, so it doesn't seem particularly reliable for the upper stretch. A better measure is the guage painted on the route 9 bridge at the put in. I ran it yesterday at one or a hair over on that guage and its was runnable but bumpy. I wouldn't run it lower than that.
