I've run this section when the gage near Pipersville for the Ralph Stover to Point Pleasant section read 1500cfs. My best estimate is that the actual flow at that time for this Quakertown section is probably around 600-700cfs. Anyway, It was mostly class I-II for the first half of the run Then became more steady class III after that up to the lake. Parts of those class III sections were pretty continous (ie: sections comparably as long as race course on the Ralph Stover section of the creek. ( a lot of fun). If I recall a lot of it was just read and run - basically just running down the center - not much to worry about. I probably wouldn't recommend running it at much less than the 1500 cfs gage reading though - takes some serious rain to get there. So to some up - the second half of this run can be very fun, I hope I was clear in my evaluation.
