A group of 6 canoeists + 3 kayakers from Ottawa, Canada ran this on April 19, 2014 at ~3.2 cfs. Lovely day, some snow patches up in the trees, but river banks free and clear of ice and no strainers, etc. Lots of friendly locals, curious about our river run. One local advised us to use an alternate take out a short drive down river from the bridge at Converse Road. Rather than parking @ the bridge (across from an old church), keep driving down river (up over the hill) a few hundred meters to a park with picnic tables, bbq stands, etc. That way you get to run the last few rapids after the bridge, and the river banks are less steep for the take-out.
