There is a gauge right at the put in for this run that should give a more accurate flow. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ut/nwis/uv/?site\_no=10136600&PARAmeter\_cd=00065,00060,62614,00010,00095,00400,00300,00045.

We ran this section on Aug 5,2017 and the flow here showed 377cfs, but I missed the disclaimer about the ~300cfs difference. We effectively ran this (in recreational kayaks) at 136cfs thinking it was 377cfs. We scraped along pretty much most of the way until we got past the Uinta bridge. Below that was better.

There were 3 places we had to take out to get around log jams.

We continued all the way to 24th Street in Ogden. All in all it was an 11 mile run. It was still fun, just be sure to check the proper gauge before deciding to do this run.
