Ran this on March 28, 2004 at 4 feet on USGS and 2.5 on the bridge. The best/biggest rapid is the one just above the gauge bridge. Don't know its name but it was a fun one!! The play below the bridge was incredible. At 1100 cfs it was fun class three, with only the rapid above the bridge rating a 3+. At the 1100 cfs level there was nothing that was close to a class 4 on the river. We looked at the dam, there was no logical reason to run it or submit the boats to the abuse. We carried left.
Overall the run is very pool drop with good sized pools for rescuing beginners. The run is good for beginners with good rolls.
