Im not sure which guage to refer to so Ill use both. I ran the Little Platte today (9/5/2010) and the guage said 120csf and 4.34ft. It was very low and i spent a lot of time scraping the bottom. There are a few nice ledges that could become almost Class II if the water was a lot higher. From County Road B to the take out is the better half of the run as far as size of rappids go. The barbed whire is still accross the river. This is a pretty run but if you're looking for a thrill this is NOT the place unless the flow atleast doubled. At this level I would be pushing it to say that it is a Class I. Hope to run it again at spring flow levels.
