Description
If parking and access can be found (and are not disputed) around the dam, it appears there is a potentially fun short run to be had. A rip-snorting start (or park-and-play?) by the dam is followed by significantly ponded areas linking narrows and swifts. Access appears to be available for take-out via unimproved road toward the river opposite Poplar Street. We need your input (especially since this uses a reference gauge on a nearby river!) All ranges are merely tentative. Create a 'Trip Report' stating listed flow and your impressions (low/moderate/high), and how well gauge correlates (never/sometimes/mostly/always).
