The previously-mentioned campground at the put-in is apparently closed, seemingly permanently but possibly only for the season (today is 11.1.15). Lots of NO TRESPASSING and KEEP OUT signs meant we drove around the Roaring Run area looking for anywhere to park until we came across a friendly old lady who allowed us to park in her driveway.
Gauge was at 550 - moving quickly for sure, but could easily envision some shoals getting scrapy at lower water. Lots of little riffles and wave trains, but nothing you could properly call a rapid... that said, not a whole lot of completely flat water aside from a few very inviting deep swimming holes and jump rocks - will have to come back in summer. Some really cool geologic features river right, especially early in the float. Couple wood drifts and roots to be aware of on either bank, but nothing remotely dangerous if you're paying attention.
