Hey Jed. The BC White Water site, was built by Jan, with a fair amount of contribution from Shayne V, who now lives and boats on VI. I'd say it has the most information on VI rivers.
Some great boating over there......rainy season is mainly focused around Port Renfrow, with the Gordon being a consistent run, and then a multitude of other creeks in the area being options depending on levels. Gordon is a great run, with 2 or 3 sections. If it was local, you'd be stoked to boat it all the time.....good mix of bedrock and boulders, high quality, very scenic. Other creeks in that zone, that are run a fair amount include Harris, Hemmingsen, Cameron, and Lens.
For snowmelt, you've got Gold River area, with a couple runs on the Gold, as well as the Heber, Upana and Ucona/Pamela. Then farther north is the Kokish, which is now dam releases only. If you're looking for one of the best waterfalls ever, don't miss Lil Qualicum, and Englishman Falls is an old time classic.
Let me know if you need additional beta for planning a trip. Nothing better than Island Time!!
