Trip Report

Please note that this run changes drastically with very little change in the putin gauge. I feel the ideal level is between 9 and 15 inches for a fun class 3-4 run. Between the minimum level of about 3 inches and 9 inches, the run, except for the falls, is an easy class 3. Around 18 inches, the max I've run it, all of those pleasant, little ledges you enjoyed at lower levels create keeper holes and you will be spending most of the day dodging one hole after the other with little time in between. It is definitely class 4 at that level.
