Trip Report

ReporterAnthony Daniel

the current gauge that is linked to this page is way over in webster springs. The usgs currently operates a gauge on the Birch at Herold (the takeout). On the Herold Gauge: 4 ft and below begins to get scrapey, 4.5-5.0 is good for novices, at 6 feet the rapids start to link up with one another and shore eddies become scarce.

Keep your eyes open for wood on this run.

The access to the river for parking by the cliff is now heavily posted with no trespassing signs. We usually park near the bridge in Herold and take out there without incident.
