Thanks for all the info!

So it looks like it will be a mississippi run, or there is always the black, or the salmon on hwy 7.

I think that something went astray on Christian's Carp map. He'd have you paddling upstream and on a different section from what we did this past Saturday, Funny trick that, but it is a little early for April Fools.
The image below includes the section that we paddled on Saturday. We put-in on Carp Rd and took-out on Galetta Side Road. We only ran the lower (more difficult) half of the standard run, and I'm not certain to the put-in for the upper half.

Levels for that river are seriously dropping and I would be skeptical about this one being a good option for the coming weekend:

Do you think they will still be runnable this weekend with the weather we have been having?  Are the levels posted online somewhere?

ANy kind of beta on these rivers would be greatly appreciated.

We are thinking of doing them again this weekend.

THANKS DAVE FOR SPOTTING MY MISTAKE!

Beta: Mississipi river Playfairville section is Class II, no scouting necessary. Approx. 6 km long, with good scenery. Last Saturday the level was not too far above the minimum runnable. The higher, the better so to speak. Easy shuttle that is shorter than the run!

Beta: Carp river near Kinburn is Class II+, no scouting really necessary but good river reading skills required. River significantly narrower and faster flowing than the Mississipi. Approx. 5 km long, with good scenery. Last Saturday the level was very good. The higher, the better too, so to speak. Easy shuttle that is a bit longer than the run!

See photos for locations of PI and TO for both rivers. --C.

While we are talking about posting pictures for some reason I have trouble posting pictures, because when I press post it just stays on the the same page and nothing happens.

Martin, the system is set so that an individual picture can not be larger (on file) than 5 MB. Unfortunately, if it is bigger, the system may not warn you but instead just freeze.

We are using an outdated version of the forum software. The website administrator is currently working on a new forum that will not have these problems. In the mean time, if you have a big picture, use the option of 'Resizing' or 'Resampling' the image to a lower resolution so that the image file is less than 5 MB. A good free image viewing program that allows to do this is IrfanView:

Hope this helps.
