Ran from Drowning Ford to Alvarado today June 24, 2007, at 148 cfs. Two boats - my brother and 2.5 year old niece in one, me and my 3 year old daughter in the other.

Scrapy several places, and almost had to get out at one, but I would say the minimum is somewhat lower than 148 cfs and closer to 100 cfs. My brother and I each felt there was ample water to get down it (although not enough to be a play run - but with little kids that was not our focus).

It was a delightful run - interesting drops and good gradient but nothing very big. I'll definitely run it again when in the area.

Very easy shuttle biking along the river on the Virginia Creeper trail.
