Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 600.0 – 2,500.0 CFS
Almost certainly too low for reasonable whitewater. (Likely less than 240 cfs at Big Falls.)

Description
After scouting Big Falls, if you decide you aren't really interested in running it (for whatever reason), you do have some options to salvage your day.
If you put in at the tail-end of the serious action at Big Falls (downslope from the aforementioned small parking area), the next 0.4 mile downstream to where an island (right-of-center in the flow) marks the end of this fine Class II 'run-out rapids'. Walk (or pre-set shuttle) back to your put-in.
Another option would be to drive up to Little Falls and run that stretch, as already described above.
