Gauge Conditions

Runnable: 3,200.0 – 5,500.0 CFS

The NF Canyon can be run below 3200 cfs on the Somes Bar gauge but becomes increasingly technical and rocky. Above 5500 cfs, the run gets pushier but pads out

Description

The final drop in the Indian Point Gorge series and the last of the larger rapids on the North Fork Salmon. After paddling the others in Indian Point Gorge, this one won't seem like much, but it's a decent-sized and straightforward drop. The run continues to Forks of Salmon but eases to class II below here.
