Today the Clarion is reading around 2.15 at Cooksburg. We were up there in 2018 and with the gauge around 2.4 we were working to find enough water to float. Some of the Clarion / Cook Forest pages on FB are saying the river is currently as low as folks have ever seen it. If anybody jumps from a rope swing, they may not make a splash. I hate to be a Debbie Downer on this one, but I think we may need a "plan B" ... maybe Mill Creek launch down to Toby Launch, possibly taking advantage of slack water behind the dam, not truly sure how much better it would be, but I would expect a lil more water on down that way ... or maybe switch to the Allegheny - Franklin or Fishermans Cove on down to Kennerdell? Just throwing it out there for consideration. Those are a couple other options in relatively the same area. PS: I've read that Redbank Creek is at a trickle as well.
