We paddled it at about 2 feet and didn't have any problem. There was one telephone pole across the
river, but it was easy enough to climb over. There are a bunch of dogs that like to follow you
downstream, but they are harmless and seem to turn around when they come to Jay Bridge. Edit

I paddled this section 2/26/09 and it was very rough. Water level was over 4' on the gauge, but I
was paddling on rocks a lot of the time. There are several spots where I had to paddle underneath
river-wide trees. There were two places that I had to get out of the water and onto the bank to
avoid debris built up. Until this section gets cleaned up - I wouldn't recommend it - even at
higher water levels. It was a 5 hour trip paddling almost non-stop. Edit

Large fallen tree creates a river-wide hazard about 1/4 mile below Highway 52 bridge. Can be easily
gone under at normal water levels, especially on the right, but could be dangerous at higher level.
