Height5.54 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.Good4001633
TrendFalling (rising 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)922

The river was low and slow, but we were down far enough that we easily floated through the riffles without dragging. Even with slow water, ample stops, and a backwater excursion, we made the short trip in about four hours.The river was low and slow, but we were down far enough that we easily floated through the riffles without dragging.
