Paddled the section from Swede Haven bridge to Hazle at 1400cfs on 2/26/17. Seemed like a 'below recommended' level. Had at least 3 bony spots you really had to scrape to get down in a kayak (in a raft it would have been worse). One or two bends on the river all the water funneled into a pile of wood, requiring a short portage through a gravel bar -with a little more water the gravel bar would have been covered and been able to easily avoid the wood. That said, this would be a really good beginner section/level because it very tame, barely approaching a class II level if at all.
