Trip Report

ReporterGary DeBacher

I recommend 200 cfs for a minimally good run. It takes that much to cushion the rocks of the second ledge system, and to cover the shallow rocks on the approach to the chute shown in Will's picture of the third ledge. Blessed with 194 cfs and cursed with a tailwind, I was blown backwards trying to get to the chute and instead ran backwards down next to the river left bank.

The actual distance from the put-in bridge to the hwy 44/129 is four miles. There you will find a boat ramp, a parking lot, and a $3 pay box.
