Black Moshannon Creek

Ran this today at 6/10 on the put in bridge gauge and it is a creeking treasure!

4' on the put-in bridge is a minimal level for an enjoyable run, although the Black gets run at lower levels. At 4', the right side of Pyramid is pretty boney, so try the center left route. Thanks for taking out the strainer -- the last rapids tends to collect wood.

Ran the final 3.8 miles twice on Sat. April 30 @ 10' on the putin bridge gauge, Beech Creek @ 8.3'
Ran Sun May 1 @ 8' , Beech Creek @ 7.6' These were good levels. Both Beech Creek readings were on a falling gauge. Cut out a river wide strainer just above the takeout. There was one other strainer on this section it is easily seen and easily avoided.

There really isn't a reliable gauge on the internet for

the Black. You have to go look at it. There is a

gauge on the river right side of the bridge just below

the put-in. We've run it below 0 on that gauge, but

we were jonesin'. 4'-6' is worth the trip out here.
