Gauge Conditions
Sturgeon River near Sidnaw, MI Downstream Primary
Runnable: 6.6 – 8.0 FT

Likely too low for areas of gradient to be boatable.

Data from American Whitewater & USGS
Description

Somewhere near this point the peak gradient subsides and some of the snagfest may begin. Aditional short ledge/drops and rapids do exist downstream, but you must decide if you prefer seeing the rest of the run vs. doing this more as a 'park and huck' of the big gradient, hiking back up to your vehicle when the river-going may get problematic.
