Trip Report

ReporterPhilip Young

Ran this at 3.4 feet or 350 cfs. The minimum on this should probably be 300 cfs (not 180), same as Corbett (at least if you are putting in at Paint Bank). Very pretty class II-III run with a fair amount of maneuvering and an occasional scrape at this level. The strainer below the first bridge is still there, and had to be portaged. The second ledge (a lot like the first ledge at the FS campground) is just below this strainer. We floated to the third bridge-- more pools, but some interesting rapids, and one low water bridge.
