3-15-15 .8 on WMA road bridge gauge, ~5000 for emory at oakdale. The flow was low but very doable for the bottom section. We put on at Pine Orchard/ White Oak Road bridge (upstream river right side has a small grassy area), we took out at the wma access on Jacks Hill road at the confluence with the emory. G -canoe/ducky, Ct -ducky /canoe, EH -canoe, SW JJ and DS -raft, KC -kayak, MP -kayak. Even with the raft this section of river was totally doable. There were numerous fun surf spots even a few big enough for the raft. There was no worrisome wood on this lower section (but a bunch on the top half). Lunch next to Mill creek falls rounded out a great day.
