However, much of the distance was a pool or had sufficient flow to carry the canoe. The boat ramp at Caplinger Mills was primitive and difficult to use with just a 2WD van.

The current was pretty brisk and it took considerable effort to make it above the last riffle before the pool. Caught almost 30 fish in less than two hours and brought home a nice stringer of females. The lake level was about three feet high, so the water clarity was pretty murky with less than a foot of visibility. USGS Gauge Data: Dadeville (06918440) Discharge: 729 Height: Source: Barton

Mostly, the river was navigable without too much trouble, but one point had a log jam that required a 150+ meter portage.

Condition Descriptions

Flood - The river is flooding. Obstacles can be treacherous or deadly. The river should be avoided at this stage for casual trips and definitely for the inexperienced. Trips should be attempted only with protective gear and equipment.
High - The river is high and potentially dangerous, especially for the young and / or inexperienced. Normal stream obstacles are sometimes difficult to navigate. Extended distances can be attempted, but canoe travel may not be advisable.
Good - Conditions are ideal for a canoe or kayak. Boats typically will drag on fewer than one-quarter of riffles, if at all, and portages are unnecessary or rare. Normal float lengths can be attempted without a problem.
Low - River is low but can still be floated. Some riffles are okay but most come with significant dragging and might need a portage. Float lengths should be reduced to accommodate low flow, dragging, and portages.
Poor - River is too low to float comfortably. Most or all riffles will drag or must be portaged and some obstacles (such as slick shelf rock) cause undue problems. Avoid the river at this stage for casual paddling trips.
Potential - Evaluative discharge ratings do not exist for this gauge and water level. However, the current discharge is at or above the historic median value for today's date, indicating that conditions might be sufficient for a successful trip.
Unknown - A value of unknown indicates that enough information has not yet been gathered to determine a rating at the current river level. Review gauge and river data for more information.
