Height12.79 feetGood - Conditions are ideal for a canoe or kayak. Boats typically will drag on fewer than one-quarter of riffles, if at all, and portages are unnecessary or rare. Normal float lengths can be attempted without a problem.Good(none)1695
TrendFalling (falling over 24 hours)Low - River is low but can still be floated. Some riffles are okay but most come with significant dragging and might need a portage. Float lengths should be reduced to accommodate low flow, dragging, and portages.Low601275

Water level and flow was very low. However, much of the distance was a pool or had sufficient flow to carry the canoe. The boat ramp at Caplinger Mills was primitive and difficult to use with just a 2WD van.Water level and flow was very low.
