When I went yesterday I'm pretty sure that "white gate" was purple. We parked well out of the way of it and didn't get a note or vandalized so I guess it's cool. Parked and launched from river right last week without any problems. Getting your gear down to the creek is harder from that sid...

I guess I just got lucky the first time with Hogan's. Thanks.

Went to paddle Hogan's Creek today (4.9) reading on the gauge and it was raining pretty good in the area. I know that's on the low side but I've made it down it before at (4.5) and had a good time. Got to the creek and it didn't even look like it would float a boat so we left. Checked the gauge from...

I thought De Roche was a lot more fun than the Cadron and without the access problems. I took quite a few pics. What site do you view pics from. I usually post them to Myspace/facebook.

Wow that was easy I know 1 or 2 folks that for sure want to paddle tomorrow. We'll collaborate a plan in the morning. Now back to the

Big thanks to Lifejacket for checking the level and taking us down his local run. He, Jim, Cossey, and myself went down today and had a blast. Cossey and I went back for seconds. Good water and no portages. Best part is from my door in NLR to the takeout is only 50 minutes, making it a quicker optio...

I had the same idea, except without waking up at 7:00

Awesome, thanks. (501) 519-one thousand six

I've never heard of that run but it sounds good. What gauge do you use to estimate the level?

I want to paddle somewhere. Can be leaving North Little Rock by 11:00 to head wherever. (501) 519-one thousand six

Got it. I'm going to watch the gauge and keep it on the "maybe" list for in the morning. Can't be any lower than some of the stuff Coogan has took me down . Captain Aleve, your usually down for a workday paddle. Where you at?

On the data it says 4.5 then in the narrative gives the over 5' suggestion. Kennon says 6'.

There is a 1 1/2 ft. difference in the minimum suggested level to paddle between the AW page and Kennon's book. Anybody paddled this recently? What's the verdict?

No, just page 63 & 64 of Kennon's book. The link you provided to a previous discussion on it didn't sound very fun though. May check out the North Fork. Just wanted something new, not too hard, and not too far from LR.

I would like to run the East Fork of the Illinois Bayou. Always pass it up to run the middle fork. Hoping to leave out early in the morning. Any takers?
