Kayak with L on the upper snake . Late start and slow going at the start because of low levels and rocks at the rapids .(297 cfs 3.38 ft at Cross Lake dam (medium/low) , Hwy 3 gage no report, bridge at Olympic st 1.5 feet ?)
Update : this is the DNR MPCA gage at downtown Mora
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/waters/csg/site_report....
It was reading 140 cfs that day
This is the gage at hwy 3 (the planned take out)
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/waters/csg/site_report....
It was reading 935.3 on gage (old datum) (new datum 1008.24 (vs minimum of 1008.7 (2016 experience))
so river too low .....
Because of pressing time and thunderstorms we exited at the 6 mile mark (old bridge crossing ) . This required a portage for about 500 yards along what was left of an old very grown over road .
