There are really no short cuts to knowing where you can and can't run. A lot of it will just be taking your time and learning where the hazards are. And so much is dependent on water level. Pay attention to the water levels and note how it relates to the depths you are seeing. I will say that water levels do not affect the lower pool (Pool 19) as much as the upper pool in regards to having water to run in. I think that is because it is so wide and spread out in the lower pool. Things can change year to year, logs get floated into an area that they were not present before. Learning how to "read" the water will help too, i.e. waves have a certain action when they are breaking over shallow water versus deeper, etc. Don't want to make it sound too complicated, but caution is the best rule of thumb.</td></tr></table>

Just a side note. In the notes section of "My Profile" here, I keep a log of water levels and where I've run so I can reference it from year to year. That way, I always know what depths I need to get in and out of certain areas. Been a useful tool.
