Cranberry

The following info was provided by Matt McMillion:

We paddled the middle Cranberry at about 4 1/2 feet Wed. March 3rd. The 'push' seems less, the water is more spread out through the riverbed. The drops used to be clear at the bottom for the most part. Now almost all the drops have rocks at the bottom, this is really only a big deal if you are upside-down or out of the boat. Just be aware after you punch a hole you will more than likely have to keep your bow up and keep your eyes open.

S-turn is now open to the left or right of the big rock in the middle. If you go right it is not nearly as easy to get back left. the water wants to go through the rocks at the center right of the drop. Eddy hopping may be the way to go. The main thing to keep in mind is the rapid has changed and some sieves are way easier to get into. S-turn is not what it used to be. It should be considered a first decent and scouted, every thing else can be boat scouted.

Also, we did notice what we think was the big tree in the first major drop downsteam about 200 yds on the left. There is (was) no wood in the run itself.
