River Level Descriptions
- TOO DAMN HIGH
- No canoes will be rented when the river is too damn high, no exceptions.
- HIGH
- River is swift and powerful, use extra caution at Compton Rapid and the Low Water Bridge. Small rapids smoothed over. Keep those lifevests zipped up.
- NORMAL
- The ideal canoeing level. Lots of small rapids to play in.
- LOW
- Canoe will bump and scrape some, but canoeists should not have to step out of their canoes. Trips take longer.
- VERY LOW
- Shorten up your trip. Canoeist will have to step out of their canoes from time to time, but even at this level the river can still be quite enjoyable if you take your time.
