Other IssuesMan made weir above take out. Has channel on river right to sneak. |
Fun FactsWould be a good section to take little kids on if you put in at Chewuch Campground and took out at Falls Campground. It's mostly flatwater in this stretch, is wood free, and is scenic. At lower to medium levels I imagine there would be some really nice beaches. |
Run Description [Season: Spring]Mostly flatwater, with a couple of quality class III rapids, a long class IV above 2500 cfs above the weir. At 2700 CFS we ran this and the last rapid has few eddies and a few blind corners.
Above the take out there is a man made weir that has a sneak channel down the right, scout the weir on the before you run shuttle from river left just upstream of the bridge
