Description

A fun but short more manageable section of the Poudre Narrows.  Fun boofs abound.  Middle Narrows is generally Class IV until the water gets very high.  This run is legitamately fun down to 1.3' if you know where to be.  Below that some of the sections are a little too bony for most boaters.   Run laps or combine it with the upper and/or lower section.


The most accurate flow information is based on a gauge marked on a boulder at Pine View Falls.  There are frequent updates on the Poudre Rock Report website (see External Links) or subscribe to the e-mail list.
