Title: upper petawawa fun run or too low
Post by: bastien86 on October 01, 2012, 12:48:06 PM

I will finish an exercise whit the army this friday and
 I have probably as planning to go in the whitewater region
get fast wave and try some new tricks playboating  but im alone so im shearching for few boaters

if the upper pet is runnable maybe its a good automn run
the level for upper petawawa actualy is on 2.3
What about this level?
Is it a good level for a fun run?

It can be run at any level, but it is pretty low right now. When I bookmarked the gauge for this one I wrote:
 "Petawawa: Phitty prefers 3.0 to 3.3 and would not do it as low as 2.7 again"

So unfortunately the present ~2.3 doesn't look very good.

Not "too boring", painfully low
