Trip Report

FYI, the dam is now back. See pictures. At lower levels when the main drop of the dells is relatively safe one can run the dam gates. There are 2 on the river right. The right one tends to have debris in the outflow and does not have a clean line, so I would suggest the left on that forms a nice tongue.
At higher levels, say over 500 cfs the stationary part of the dam becomes runnable. Granted it will be a bit of a bumpy 5ft drop at 500cfs. The far right of this stationary section of the dam looked like it would be best, based on a run at 485 cfs.
