Floated the N. Fork John Day from Dale to Monument on June 14-16, 2019 (see comment below). River level was 1350 cfs when we put on and 1100 cfs when we took out. At this level there are many nice Class II rapids that make for a fun family float trip. Not a problem for canoes and kayaks at this level, but the rafts had to be a little careful through the shallow sections and scraped bottom a few times on gravel bars. I'd say this was near or at the minimum level for loaded rafts.
