Description
At flows under 1000 cfs or so, virtually any paddlecraft can easily get under. Up to something near 1700 cfs, you can 'limbo' under it in a whitewater kayak but canoeists may be in trouble. As flows exceed 1700 cfs, it will be necessary to portage.
There is a decent eddy river-right very near the bridge, but you must have confident boat-handling skills to get this eddy, get ashore, then re-enter the river. This may be uneasy for inexperienced boaters!
Somewhere around and above 2600 cfs, you may pass over the bridge with little or no problem.
Just downstream the river takes a bit of a jig-jog. The right bank has been undercut and collapsed into the river, along with trees from shore. At moderate-to-higher flows, intense maneuvering may be necessary to avoid mishap!
There are no tees on one side of the river where golfers drive a ball to a green on the other side, but wildly errant shots (hooks and slices) may pose risk to passing boaters.
