By the way, this gauge (02LA004) is the correct one for Hog's Back, as it is at Carleton University:

Looks like it's not going up anymore, but still quite high...

OOps... My guess of the trend was wrong. The level of the Rideau is rising, as temperatures are still around zero...

The level rise and here in the south of ontario we are on the grass no snow yet. That is all of our spring flow going down the toillet.

Roger. I will definitely NOT run this unless it is within my means. From the sound of it, it is NOT within my means for now. Level sits at 3.33 at the moment. We'll watch it as well as the temperatures.

Make sure you guys check the level before running, because it was rising the day before we ran it and the holes after the waterfall were bigger then expected.

The water was cold  :P, I only rolled once and it felt colder then March, but most likely because I was not used to it.

Good job, Billy's idea of a creek boat for you was a good one! Your video makes me shiver though--how cold was the water for the face? Not as bad as Champlain in March?
