Calapooia River, Below McKercher Park to Brownsville

This is a Scouting run of an unknown to us section of the Calapooia with the thinking of learning what is there for possible utilization of this run at higher flows in the future. We have not done this run before. Flow is about 30-40cfs, enough to grind past gravel bars. It will be shallow and boney gravel bars with paddle-able pools. Best success will be in shallow drafting plastic canoes and IK's Paddle distance may be 7.5 miles. Launch is below the falls at McKercher and looks like shallow gravely creek, and brush may impinge on the channel in places.
