A group of us ran the Little Platte twice, 8/27 and 8/29/2007. Both times the gauge on the Platte River was around 4.6 Ft. There are numerous ripple rapids due to the rock bottom of the river bed, several nice curves against a limestone bank and a few drops which would be interesting at higher water. There is still a two strand barbed wire fence across the river about a mile and a half from the put-in on Old Lancaster Road.
