Author: otterendSubject: Minimum Green Gorge LevelsPosted: 01 Mar 2016 at 6:17am1800-2000 CFS. I suggest putting in at Headworks, getting a warm up, practicing a roll or two, hitting the drop at railroad bridge, and relaxing before heading into the gorge. Chris

Whitewater Forum : Minimum Green Gorge Levels

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: melgerSubject: Minimum Green Gorge LevelsPosted: 29 Feb 2016 at 6:03pmIn my opinion, 1800-2000 would be the easiest level. A lot of the rocks are covered, but nothing is pushy. I think Mercury gets junkier below 1600 and at lower levels I've hit rocks in the bottom wave train. Mercury is basically a wave train with some hole dodging recommended. At those levels, no holes on the left lin...

Author: itchySubject: Minimum Green Gorge LevelsPosted: 29 Feb 2016 at 4:03pmThis is from my experiences paddling the Green ~10 times; I'm sure some long time locals who can tell 20 CFS differences may have their own opinions, but...The easiest level really depends on your skill set and paddling history but if you're a typical WA III-IV paddler (who can deal with waves better than rocks), I thi...

Author: osmelendezSubject: Minimum Green Gorge LevelsPosted: 29 Feb 2016 at 2:10pmWhatever level you decide it would be great to go down with you for your first time. It would be a great way to reconnect also. I can't recommend any first time flows. I think 1200-1500 would be the easiest. You would probably really enjoy 1800-2000. I don't think there is much of a difference between 1800-2000.

Author: megspkSubject: Minimum Green Gorge LevelsPosted: 29 Feb 2016 at 1:25pmI know everyone, or at least alot of people, have differing ideas of best levels to get in the Gorge for first timers. I'd like to hear recommendations and your reasons why. I'm thinking 1800-2000 for my first time. Also are there any rapids that Mercury can be compared to? Cheers!
