Paddled the Upper Meadow today with 764 cfs on the Nallen gauge. It was comparable to about 850-900 cfs on the old Mt. Lookout gauge, which is in the ballpark of the USGS data that states the Nallen gauge is about 80% of the old Mt. Lookout gauge. Mid-700's was getting scrapey. I'd say mid to low 700's on the Nallen gauge is the low end of good.

The road to the put-in is in very good condition. It's been graded, and most of it has new gravel on it. Unless there's snow on the ground, I'd drive a two-wheel-drive car on it.
