Trip Report

ReporterBrian Garfield

Have recently run this section at 2.3 ft in October 2020 (lots of dragging, but possible) and 2.65 ft in December 2020 (much better). No strainers on bridges. Pretty easy. The higher water level obviously made the dam smoother. There's just one spot to play around/surf/learn. December trip was showing 15 mph winds, but with the exception of about 2 minutes of the trip down, there was no wind, likely from bank/tree protection. This made a huge difference for a 45 degree day.
