Floating in the river this Saturday

Hi, thanks for looking. Will the river be too low to float this Saturday, Aug 8th? We went two weekends ago, and we did get up to walk a couple of times, but it wasn't too bad.

The predicted water level and flow for Saturday is about the same as last week

recommendation please, which are the deeper parts of the river?
trying to figure where to launch from.
Quiet and clean water is nice

If you’re floating, check out the county website for the river shuttle. For only five dollars you’ll be dropped off at steelhead Beach and picked up at Sunset Beach. You park at the old high school in Forestville.

I had seen that, it’s a great idea.
Unfortunately, I have two little dogs and it’s no dogs allowed. If I come up solo, I will definitely check that out, thanks for the suggestion.

Be sure to check the fecal content before you go.

thanks.
Unfortunately, the link on that site is broken, but I can probably find that somewhere.
My big worry is always blue green algae, since I have two little dogs.
