Trip Report

One of my favorite runs in the Obed System. I wouldn't do it lower than 3.4' and if you do it that low you will be doing some knuckle walking, but still worth it if you've never done it before. 4.0-4.3 is a good level for the intermediate first timer.
The river at the put-in bridge gauge is very narrow and a few inches on the gauge don't make much difference at Potters Falls. The highest I've run it is maybe 4.4' on the upper part and 5.5 on the lower part. We have run it as low as 3.4 more than once.
