We ran this section last weekend at 3.6 feet, 600 cfs on the Putnam gage. Today it was closer to 7’, 3,000 cfs. – just below flood stage, but still up in the trees with fast moving current. The rapids were still there, but there we no rocks to dodge – just long wave trains with 1’ – 2’ rolling waves. The biggest waves were at the broken dam with about a 3’ wave at the bottom (I found a sneak route to avoid it), and the rapid above the Wauregen Road Bridge (Route 205) with some large 3’ waves on the right at the top. I found a sneak line through the center, but the waves pushed me over to the trees on the left by the time I reached to the bottom.
I brought my Outrage, and I was glad I did. The run only took us an hour and a half. I left my camera in the car, so no pictures from the run. I did get these at the take out.
