Upper section

Above the dam runs only with quite a bit of rain or if the power company diverts water.
At 750cfs over the dam in April, 2026, this was a beautiful class 2 with some play and little wood.
i'd guess somewhere around 400 and up is good (each turbine adds about 440cfs to the flow. Do the math).

In October 2019 AW ran a test of releasing 250csf from the dam to see if that would fit into the re-licensing plan. Something like 30-40 paddlers showed up to participate and report back if that amount of water would be worth releasing. The answer was no, but a bit more water and some cellulose extraction would make this a nice training run and the overall run longer.
