Flat water low flow information

2.4ft and below has two still water sections on the Green Acres Kayak section of the river [Willow park to Riverfront Park]. Expect decent length of pooled still water just ahead of where Jake's Food Truck is. At 2.4ft and below this section can take 30+ minutes to get through on a raft. Kayak's should not have an issue with given their lower energy requirements. Additionally you will find a still water section on the second to last river bend before take-out. Landmark for this location of water is the gravel yard, you can't miss it. This section used to be much more narrow but they came in and dredged it out because people were jumping from the banks. Current is still moving below the surface here, just not on top. This section is probably a 15 minute section without paddling.

Other than the two section mentioned above, flow is still good at these levels, especially through-out the first half of the trip [Willow to Riverfront]. Dont let this information disuade you from paddling at these levels. I am just sharing information and perosnal experience. I do not know how these levels are on the sections of the river further north. If they are anything like the start of the this section described, they should be adequate.
