Trip Report

ReporterCameron Klinger

A group of us ran this on 09/09/2011.

The level at Rondout Cr near Lowes Corner was 650 cfs / 1.89’. This was a low but runnable level.

Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee have turned this river into a mess. The shuttle road had one lane washed out in many places. This may cause access issues while this road is being repaired. There were many trees in the river and we encountered 5 required portages. Other rapids had trees in most of the flow. Despite all this, the run was completely worth dealing with the extra wood. This river was very scenic and had many beautiful waterfalls dropping in from the sides. It also had a very remote feel even though the road was not far away.
