Ran Hwy 9 to Castleberry Bridge on 8/28/09. Level on the GA9 gauge was 173cfs at 4.5 feet. I wouldn't run below 5 feet unless you enjoy getting out to walk your boat across the rocks. One riverwide strainer was navigable by going under on the left of the river. Took 3 and a half hours with several breaks, including stopping at the Falls for 20-30 minutes. Beautiful run, and enjoyable if the water levels are a little bit higher.
