It's at 4.16' / 38cfs The lowest recorded level that i have paddled it was 4.9'
Any input for the level this weekend? I'll call Sugar Island this afternoon. I'm dying to get on this creek. Its one of my favorite rec-floats!

I like this float too. I dug out some old notes from 2011 that said 3.5 ft/98 cfs was adequate. Are we referring to different gauges?

Sounds like the cfs to ft ratio had changed at the gauge. Powell is the only one on the creek that I'm aware of.
