Fun run. The gradient is 12ft/mile. That day the water gauge was a 1.83 ft. I do not think you could run this much lower. It had many shallow spots because of the gradient change. This is my second favorite run on the Dan River so far. It is about 8.3 miles long. Dennis paddled his Liquid Logic Coupe and I used our Peception Sport recreation boat. This is a beautiful run with such pretty surroundings. It is so enjoyable because of all the rapids even though they are small they are frequent. Even though it has action and beginner could do this fine.
The only negative is the out access at Moores Springs road. You have to call the campground and get permission and it cost $10 to park there even if you are not camping. You get out at a creek which is nasty and the road is washed out to the access so you have to carry your boat 100 yds to your vehicle.
I hope the water gets up again so I can do this again soon.
