Ken,

See Mike's video shot at 850 cfs to get some idea. Of course, it's running about 200 cfs less than that as of this afternoon. I imagine there may be a little rock dodging, but not a great deal. Yes, it would be more technical/rockier at lower levels.

As of about three weeks ago, there was a tree in the channel just before the whitewater begins. Passage was on the left. See Mike's video shot at 1,100 cfs. I am a little concerned about this and whether it has shifted and whether boats can still make it through with about 450 fewer cfs. I plan to get up there early tomorrow to try to check it out.

It appears from the USGS hydrograph over the last day of so that water is being released somewhere from a lake/reservoir in the Cuyahoga watershed somewhere upriver of the gage. I don't know how else to explain the rise in water level/discharge since there hasn't been much precipitation.
