Is the Poudre high enough to justify driving up river to run either Upper or Lower Rustic?

I have run the upper Rustic several times. I think you want 2.8' or so or higher. The 2.8 is scratchy in spots in a canoe, if I remember right. We put in below the white mile and pulled out at the bridge below Rustic. CRC says not recommended below 3.0' for the upper.

In a kayak you will be fine, the gauge read just under 3 feet this morning. It does look a little bony though. I would not go past mish or the narrows. The rustic stuff is a good ways up and it did not look all that fun. I personally have never run it though.
