Its def a real fun paddle but you gotta wait for the rain on that one. Watch the gauge and try and catch it between 4-6 feet. If it comes up any time soon i will shoot you a pm .

There are 2 trips on the schedule for the App:

Been a while since I've been on it, but 4' sound right.

It should be noted that you'll have to wait for the lake to fill up before they start releasing water from the dam. I wanted to paddle this a couple of weeks ago and it was looking good on Friday but on Saturday they turned the water off. Bummer! Its a class II-III run and there are only 2 class IIIs that I remember as well as a big flat pool to paddle at the beginning.
