Ran this on 5/22/11 at 1990 CFS on the Godeffroy gauge, which is probably the gauge to use for this section. Bridgeville was 985, but 3 weeks ago Goddefroy was only 1500 when Bridgeville was 990. The minimum is probably around 1200 or so at Godeffroy, but I'd want at least 1500. At the level we had this was mostly class 2, but some of the wave trains were fairly big and pushy. At higher levels this is probably a solid class 3 that's a lot of fun. While not as remote as the gorge above, this is a pretty stretch and we saw a bald eagle. Half of it is away from the road, and the road doesn't usually intrude too much. There's a very easy take out immediately upstream of the route 209 bridge. [edit] Ran this again on 6/24. Bridgeville was 1100 and Godeffroy was 2400. I've now seen the Godeffroy gauge be 50% more than Bridgeville and 120% more. While everything is still flowing there's a lot of additional inflow above the put in for this section. The Godeffroy gauge includes the flow from a very large swamp that joins just downstream of this section, and I'm guessing that as levels have dropped a reading of 1200 or so might be too low above that confluence. If Godeffroy is below 1500 I'd also want Bridgeville to be at least 700 or so.
