From two comments, anything less than 2000 is too scrapy, and 2000 is pretty bony, too. The upper limit is a rough estimate. If it looks good to you, go ahead

Description
The South Branch of The West Canada: This is an exciting stretch of river. It follows route 8 south from Fayle Road to the Bridge at Nobleboro. The scenic lookout at Nobleboro (Haskell Road) is a great place to meet up with fellow paddlers. 15 - 20 minutes of flatwater paddling warms you up after the put-in. About a mile or more of Class II, a short break and then 2+ miles of II-III. This is a fast run, less than 2 hours to cover over 5 miles of water. It is rocky at low levels and really pushy at higher levels. For a full day of paddling combine this with West Canada, North Branch: Big Brook to Route 8 Other rivers nearby: - West Canada, Ohio Gorge - West Canada, Trenton Falls to Herkimer Tug Hill - Old Forge Area Reaches Beaver (1.
