Fun FactsFeatures the largest winter population of bald eagles in the contiguous 48 states. |
Run Description [Season: Year Round]This isn't really a whitewater run... This section is best known as the eagle run, as it is most often boated in winter for viewing the winter migration of bald eagles that come here to chow down on the Skagit's winter salmon run.
It's also a nice easy float to take beginners on and plenty deep for working on that roll. The 'rapids' are generally just small riffles over wide gravel bars and a couple headwalls with some swirly spots. There are sometimes some wood hazards to be aware of, but they are generally easily spotted and missed.
