	Low, scrapy, not worth it unless you really want to get on the water. Gauge (5650 sq.mi. drainage) lies about 10 miles upstream so should quite accurately reflect flows available on this reach.

River Description

In-town park-and-play spot.

There are a couple possible playspots, depending upon flows (See Flow Info).

For what it's worth, assuming the date on the 'feature photo' is correct, the flow would have been in the neighborhood of 6,000 cfs (mean daily flow reported for 2009-05-01 was 7120 cfs, for 2009-05-02 was 6070, and for 2009-05-03 was 5370 cfs).

See the "Map" tab, which shows this location and a 'shuttle route' (based upon the listed coordinates). (It is far more likely that this is done as a 'park-and-play', with no shuttle necessary, so ignore those shuttle directions.)

The following YouTube video (from 'VesperSparrow ') shows one playable part of this river-wide ledge:
