Trip Report

ReporterDavid McClanahan

There is now a USGS gauge near Tecumseh. Even being spring fed the stretch above Hammond Camp is not floatable at 2.30 on the Tecumseh gauge and the stretch between Hammond and Patrick requires carfully selecting a channel to keep from bottoming out in several of the rapids at that level.

Also the low-water 'Blair Bridge' mentioned in C&K Guide to the Ozarks has been replaced with a concrete bridge 30' above the high-water line. Portaging around is no longer required.
