| Name | Range | Updated | Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| SALMON RIVER AT PINEVILLE NY | 750 - 10000 cfs | 01h51m | 460 cfs (rc= -0.0 ) |
Scheduled releases, with natural flow after heavy rain.
Directions from Mike Shafer, of the FLOW Paddlers' Club:
Putin: Best place to put-in is at a place called "Trash Compactor."
From I-81 take exit #36, for Rte. 13. (approx 35 miles north of Syracuse)
Turn right, going East on Rte. 36.
Approx 1 mile, make a left turn onto Rte. 2A.
Approx 1/10 of a mile, you are on a bridge crossing the Salmon.
Turn right, just over the bridge, into the parking lot/DEC access site...
...you can see it looking right (upstream) from the bridge.
Takeout: You have to drive through town, to a place called Black Hole (at the wastewater
treatment plant).
People in town could direct you there (or check out the map in the Directions tab), but there
should be no problem hooking up for a shuttle from the put-in lot. Shuttle's only about 10
minutes, each way.
Sharon sez: "The Salmon has a TON of surfing. The higher the water, the better. Get there at 2000 cfs in the spring if you can."
Check out the Salmon site
for some info on this river.
The CNY Club maintains an Events Calendar which might help you hook up with
people who have info on this run.
The date of this year's Salmon Festival is not yet known; check the Zoar Valley Paddling Club for updates.
Lat/longitude coords for putin and takeout are verified by
GPS.
You can get a forecast of the Salmon's water level from Waterline. A bare minimum for this reach would be about 750 cfs.
