Log jam at Middle Crack, had to portage; 1.2ft at river/bridge gauge

| Gauge Reading | 1.33 ft at CHATTOOGA RIVER NEAR CLAYTON, GA |
| Flow | Low Flow |
Ran Section 4 at 'low runnable' level--bridge gauge read 1.2 ft. Had to portage at Crack in the Rock because water too low to run any option. Middle crack stuffed with two logs and not passable. Right Crack water level was too low and rock too narrow to paddle through. But easy to scout and portage due to low flow at this level. Rest of Five Falls was runnable because the river channelizes so much; same for 7-foot falls. Otherwise lots of rock scraping to navigate upper rapids, but fine for a mild day and a PFD.
