After running this at 1.8 I have mixed feelings about the minimum level. The section from Millville to the railroad bridge was painfully low. But the staircase has some ok play at these low levels. The hardest thing about the lower flow is avoiding the drunks in inner tubes. I believe the rapid called whitehorse, the last one above the river right takeout had the best play. I'm going to echo John Dukes comment that the minimum should be raised to two feet, with a note that it can be run lower by the truely desperate.
