| Gauge Reading | 3.8 ft at Red Clay Creek near Kennett Square, PA |
| Flow | Low Flow |
January 23rd 2023. Put in at the dam in auburn state park. 3.8ft on the Kennet gauge (the lowest I would recommend for this run) still a bit scrapey in spots. Ran every dam clean and the creek is mostly strainer free. One river wide log had to be portaged in the flat water before S tressle dam. The rapid on river left of the dam had a lot of wood collected by a broken pipe on the far left after the chute and would be extremely dangerous at higher flows. Make sure to scout. There is a very shallow low head dam right before rt 48 bridge that could be dangerous at higher flows. Other then that this creek and it's dams are good to go
