Henrys Fork

I would like to point out that none of the drops on this section are remotely class V.  In technical nature and consequence.  There are certainly hazards in each of the two larger drops, but overall it should be considered a class IV run in my opinion.  For aspiring class IV paddlers as well. A great run all around!!

The Ashton gage is the ACCEPTED gage for this run. There is not a 'correct' gage. The Island Park gage does not include the flow from the Buffalo Fork (which is often larger than the Henrys Fork itself at Island Park). Theoretically, the flow from the Island Park gage could be added to the flow from the Buffalo Fork. The problem is that the gage on the Buffalo Fork is above the confluence with Lava Creek. Lava Creek does not have a gage, but guessing by the picture above, it might be significant. The problem with the Ashton gage is that it also includes the flow from the Warm River.

The wrong gauge is listed for this run. The correct gauge in the one located near Island Park .

Going deep on the left line

This is the take-out for the Sheep Falls run.

Yes, we were paddling creek boats, not that you can tell from the pictures...
