Used Aaron's gage: https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?gage=sncm5&wfo=mpx.  Thank you.  Water was at 4.77ft ~1300 CFS.

2 x downed logs at Sawmill bridge.  Possibly boofable at 5', but definite problem at 4.7 and below.   Portage river right before bridge/logs.    Also portaged river left at lagoon park to avoid the dam.

Otherwise fun clean run.  Nice standing waves from Nelly's rapids to take-out.

This river runs far more often  than the correlation to the vermillion guage would indicate in spring.  Here is a link to a guage on the river near the takeout.

Just to the south  tributaries of the minnesota river high island and rush creek also have longish sections of class 1-2, with the occasional surfable wave and downed trees. .
