| Description: | This is the tree just down stream of the Saxon bridge that I use as a gauge for the Marsh fork, (see other tree gauge photo). There are 3 nails, the bottom nail represents 0" (lowest recommended level), I paddled this section at -2" once, the rapids were still fun but it was pretty scrapy where the creek widens here and there. The middle nail (10" above 0"), is where it gets noticably faster and pushy. Between the middle nail and the top nail (20" above 0") it really picks up the pace! The highest I paddled this section was 30" above 0", I portaged "Rock wall #2" on the right, but the rest of the run was good to go. It is kind of hard to see the nails in this picture, so I pointed them out. | |||
