With nothing else in the area seemingly runnable, low water LRC provides. Paddled with Dano Jones and Steven Halpin for a beautiful day in the gorge.

Photo is of the sieve on the river right side of Humpty Dumpty, which is one of the more impressive sieves I have seen. Great day for it!

When checking the phone gage, the number prompts have been changed. Press 4, then 2, then 2.,

NOT!

The hole that can be deadly at high water is nothing to sweat at lower flows.
Screaming right is upstream of Roadblock and is very easy at higher flows. However at lower flows its got alot of F-U rocks everywhere making it alot more technical

The Little River at Blue Pond gage was recalibrated after Hurricane Ivan in 2004. Here is the new correlation for the Blue Pond gage and the Hwy 35 bridge gage. These levels should be considered in flux, because the Blue Pond gage will be recalibrated in the near future, as water levels permit. (3/1/05)

Blue Pond = 35 Bridge

500-650 cfs = -2.0

650-800 cfs = -1.0

800-1100 cfs = 0.0

1100-1300 cfs = 2.0

1400-1500 cfs = 4.0

1600-1700 cfs = 6.0

2000-2100 cfs = 7.0

2100-2200 cfs = 8.0

2600-2700 cfs = 12.0

I have an Excel 2000 spreadsheet that predicts the levels for Little River and several other rivers in the southeast. If you

JP boofing at the middle drop on Humpty
This is what Roadblock looks like at low water. It's harder to make the boof on the right of the drop because it is very shallow and you can stall on or get rejected by the rocks on the right.

This paddler's face, mauled with wretched disgust for the known paddlesnake below, is Martin Wroe 'Gettin' Some Air' off the first drop in Humpty Dumpty, Little River, Al.

Good line for the last drop at Humpty Dumpty.

Killer rapid. The hole in the middle is evil

Geoff Kohl drops into the turmoil at the bottom of Humpty Dumpty.
The bottom of Humpty Dumpty tends to flip, eat and spit out paddlers.
90% of the water in the Little River Canyon goes over the last drop in Humpty Dumpty. It loves to flip paddlers.
Geoff Kohl runs the first drop of Humpty Dumpty. You can see Road Block in the distance.
Rob does a nice boof off the first drop of Humpty Dumpty.
This is a great shot of Humpty Dumpty at 2'. You can clearly see the two ledges that form the drop as well as the perfectly placed scouting rock. At lower levels, you'll have your choice of a left or right line over the bottom drop.

This is Scott Bristow running road block. (We miss you Scott)
This is the last part of the Upper 2 put-in trail.
Humpty Dumpty can be run down to -4' (maybe a little lower). However, the center slot at the bottom gets too narrow to run at around -3'.
