Trip Report

ReporterDan Rabun

we ran this for the second time at 85 cfs (and steady) on the Stokesville gage, with a light shower the night before our run. I would call this an enjoyable bare minimum. Not much scraping after the first 1/4 mile, and still plenty of fun. About 30% of that flow was coming out of the Little River (the gage is below the confluence), so I am guessing only 60 cfs or so was in the North River. It was -1' on the painted put-in bridge at the campground, so 0' on the painted gage is fairly accurate, and I would guess most people would use this as their minimum. Keep a constant eye for strainers on this run, although we only had to walk around one.
