Sauk

We ran a tandem canoe in late August from Sauk Prairie Bridge put in to Lower Sauk Access take out. Flows were 'below recommended' according to AW, but I saw '1,000-4,000 cfs: Below recommended but still a very enjoyable run' on mountaineers.org so we tried it. It was doable for sure. Only a few bottom scrapes over some gravel bar drops despite picking the more flow line. Couple of wave trains were II-, but class II for route picking and maneuvering. We took riffles slowly as you could not really see rocks unless totally emergent. Main channel always wasn't evident, but you wanted the channel with the more flow so back ferries were used. Beautiful day out! Did a bike shulttle on highway 530 and had a decent enough shoulder.
