Dam Pool

The dam pool caused by a diversionary dam above Rookie Drop acts as a warmup and staging area before the rapids below. The eddy lines here can be very playful.

The 'Donogauge' on river left is the on site foot gauge:

0.5 - 1ft = Low, 1.1 - 1.3 Medium, 1.4 - 1.6 Optimal, 1.7 - 1.9 High, 2.0+ High Runnable Class 5.

This is the safest way to gauge the run, as the USGS gauge can give false readings, especially near rain events.
