Trout Run

When I did it, Waites run gauge was probably around 4.25 and dropping. There is a steep, congested section toward the bottom where logs can jam, followed by a nasty hole at the top of a very large pool, followed by a big log jam that I barely snuck under and which could easily change. On site, when I did it, the low-water bridge at the Hemlock Wilderness Brigade had the barest, unrunnable trickle passing over the bridge; this level was somewhat abusive, but passable. If there's enough water to paddle over the road, that would probably be a good level. If there's an ugly hole behind the road, that might be intense! I didn't see a gauge at Rt 55, but maybe I missed it, even though I took out there.
