Ran the Shade today Nov 2, 2012 @ a little better than 6 ft. You could run it lower but not much without scraping bottom a lot. The right channel around the last island on the lower section has a stream wide strainer. If you paddle hard to river left you can just get behind the root ball and catch an eddy at 6 ft. Some in our group paddled over the tree to the right of the root ball, but I would bet on this as the river drops. Go left or be careful.
