Paddled on 12/3/2021. River level 5.95 ft Dillon gauge, https://waterdata.usgs.gov/sc/nwis/current/?type=flow, This level is low water. River was passable with work at this level. Many trees and debris in water, many submerged snags. There was one portage about 1 mile upstream from Carmicheal's Bridge, 4 trees together in one stump, this will be a portage at any river level. Portage was short and easy but necessary. This river is constantly changing and new downfall is common. There are a couple of cut-through channels where the river is abandoning new oxbows and these cut-throughs are tight and can be partially clogged. Not a section for first time paddlers during cold weather, maneuvering skills are important here. There is much evidence of recent attempts to clear the river but much still needs to be done. River levels of 7.5 ft or greater would remove many of the obstacles but portage will still be required. Of all the sections we paddled in Dillon County during this time, this was the roughest to do.
