From 1 mile in from the dam to Pleasant Mills/right past 542.
The water was extremely low at the start but we never did have to get out
of the kayak. A few new drops(beaver's work I presume) from last summer/fall. The Savannah was awesome as always. Ran into a group of three fishing. Only people we saw on the water from 2 PM - 11AM. The water after the Savannah was low but manageable. There were around 6-7 trees down at various spots. We had forgot our camping saw so no cutting. We never had to get out of the kayak. A few tight spots and a bit of lazy man gyrating over logs we were good to go. Beautiful to be out and glad we didn't dump.

The river was pretty passable? I'm planning a run from Atsion to Pleasant Mills with some first-timers around end of April/beginning of May. I don't mind a few obstacles, but I don't want to annoy the rest of my party.
