Document - Whitewater Stream Inventory (2002) of “Sea to Sky” Squamish Forest District, British Columbia

Abstract

The purpose of this initiative was to collect, critically evaluate, and present information describing whitewater paddling use of the streams and rivers in the Squamish Forest District, a one million hectare administrative area which encompasses the mainstems and tributaries of the Squamish, Lillooet, and Indian Rivers. The resort municipality of Whistler represents more or less the geographic center of this near-coastal area, the central portion of which (along Highway 99) is widely referred to as the Sea to Sky Corridor. The term “whitewater paddling” is used in this report to include recreational activity in whitewater canoes and/or inflatable rafts, although the use of plastic whitewater kayaks is the predominant means of descending the typically steeper creeks in this mountainous area.
