Trip Report

ReporterBruce Fleckenstein

Ran from Whipkey to State Gamelands on 3/4/12. Gauge was 2.1 540 cfs. This is about as low as I would go. With the exception of a couple spots, good water until the braids. Then, enough if you make good decisions. Very pretty! Upper needs more water. Ran it pretty high once. Had to stay alert due to lack of eddies.
There are a couple good rapids. First is a 4ft broken out ledge that can be run right of center. The next is not far below and requires some maneuvering.
