We have floated from the Thompson Lane Greenway to Nice Mill. It is a nice trip, quiet and scenic, though you may have to portage over a few spots during low water. There is a very small weir dam at the water treatment plant for instance.

There's a video on Youtube of some guys doing whitewater there from February this year.

I'm interested in finding out about the navigability from Nice Mill to the East/West fork confluence. Looking on maps it seems like low water can be a problem.

Nice Mill to East Fork is a nice float. Get's a little slow the second half so get the paddle out! Even slower to the confluence. You'll have more of a problem Thompson to Nice Mill on low water than you will from Nice Mill on.

Put in there today and paddled upstream and fish a few spots. I've done it several times the last couple of years.
