I canoed this on Dec. 6, 2009 at just under 200 cfs. Very boney with many downed trees straining the river. Very approximately within a mile from the dam is a DOUBLE STRAINER at this level (~180). It is a downed tree across the entire river. It appears to be two main stems of the tree. The river moves at a good pace, so we could not ferry. We went full steam over the clearest part of the tree. The two stems of the tree are about two feet apart. We were stuck on top of both stems, luckily our canoe was straight with the flow. At this level, I consider this dangerous. I am a class V kayaker and am out of my element in a canoe. At this level I would solo canoe so you can get over logs better. It appears over the last few weeks the dam bounces between an output of around 200 or an output of 400 cfs. The online gauge is hard to find. Go to http://www.mwcd.org/levels for current output, but there is no release schedule. This is a fun river that doesn't have all the traffic of the very popular Mohican.
