Trip Report

ReporterNate Butcher
Gauge Reading550 cfs at RED RIVER NEAR HAZEL GREEN, KY

The water level was rapidly dropping and we put in at about 6:30 or 7 on still water creek at the 746 bridge. Ive done this several times before at levels 400-1500 and never had an issue (in a raft at that). However, Still Water was too low. We scraped the whole way and actually walked several of the shallowest sections. The Red was great though, 400-600 is great in a kayak, not to big or pushy. If putting in on Still Water the water should be close to the rock overhang just behind the bridge.
