Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportThere is a gage available at http://www.h2oline.com/235119.asp The gage is never that accurate due to the dam type but it will give you an idea. Also Brookfield's 'Forecast' flow is very unreliable, check the gage the morning you leave.
There is a gage spray painted on one of the rock out cropping at the dam, however it was pretty faded when I saw it last and I don't know how it relates to actual level. I believe section is easier then this thread suggests, a couple extensive rapids (namely split decision or 'Three Doors' as I was taught) but everything is pretty straight forward. I have always run it with a playboat however creekers might make the moves a little more fun. I haven’t done it real high though, only up to 1100ish.
SYBOF hole on the right is a real keeper.
