Gauge Conditions

Runnable: 125.0 – 3,000.0 CFS

Float trip with (grungy) riffles and rips.

Description

Some boaters use a 'short-run' option, putting in from the parkway at this location. This cuts off about a mile of mostly swiftwater and low-grade riffles, to get the final 1.6 miles containing the best gradient.

This could also be a good option for 'extreme high flow' runs, since a few bridges upstream can end up deadly (either being very low to the flow, or with water flowing through bridge structures). The railroad bridge (at about 47th & State Street) is still of concern, and would need scouting before putting on at any flow which may exceed 4000 cfs.
