FlowMedium Flow

Ran at about 600 cfs on 5/16. Only from Elisabeth furnace to the hatchery as it looked like all private property around route 55. Beware though the hatchery road closes and floods over when the level gets high enough to run. Super fun, any strainers were avoidable, the portage around the dam is grown but findable. Water was fast and holes were big, class III for sure but I wouldn't wanna be upside down in the bigger rapids.
