Ran today at what I assume would be a little under the min. I didn’t scrape much, but there was definitely not enough for a true whitewater trip. Also, the dam in Townsend does not appear to have a way to portage without trespassing. Was fun, but not really a trip I’d recommend unless you are somehow coordinating with one of the tube companies to take out, at least if you are starting from below the gorge in the national park. Really there are only a couple class 2 that might be 2+ or easy 3 at high water, a bit of class 1 and lots of flat. Most of the better rapids are right near the wye, but there was one a little beyond Little Arrow Resort and another decent one just below the dam.
