White

Good float, perfect for the 1st float of the season.  Strong headwind! We did 8.5 miles in a little under 3.5 hours.

I floated on this stretch on 5/12/2019, with discharge at about 850 cfs at the White River at Elkins (which seems to be a new gauge that should be used for this run instead of W.R. near Fayetteville). It was totally floatable at that discharge, but would be more fun a bit higher. Much lower, and it would start getting pretty bony. Unless I missed something, the access at Cannon Creek is no longer an option. It was my first time here, so I didn't have prior experience. However, the road headed down to the river at this point had a gate across it (at both entrances) with no trespassing signs. I put in at Crosses instead, which was a perfectly fine access. In fact, at least at these flow levels, the best rapids on the 4.5 mi stretch from Crosses to Thompson were just a bit downstream of Crosses.
