Water height approx 2.9 FT. Great run. No obstructions. Can't wait to do it again!
Exhausting - - about 4+ hours at a pretty good pace. We are novice paddlers, but I would not want
to do this run if the water level were any lower. We were scraping bottom several times. Two dams
required portage. A few decent rapids. Beautiful and relaxing.
