Height	4.62 feet	Good - 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	250	192
Trend	Falling (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.Low	(none)	84

	2019-11-10	Sunset Park	MO 32	Total trip distance: 5.7 miles5.7	Good	347	3.13	Poor	None Bartlett, Renee Bartlett, Stephanie Edmond, Brian Edmond, Julian Haun, Korey Lessmann, Kristi Van Someren, Tom The water level for this stretch of the river was nearly perfect. Like the Little Sac River, there are several bedrock runs that would be impossible to traverse with lower water levels and dangerous to walk (due to slick, algae-covered rocks). The water was clear and the scenery was good as well. This stretch is an easy one for beginners and canoes. USGS Gauge Data: Polk (06921070) Discharge: 347 Height: 3.13 Source: Edmond
