Kayakers body recovered on the Carson River Today Back in 2023 two “kayakers” with little or no skill attempted top paddle from the Morgan Mill area towards Dayton. They paddled the Class 4 Train Wreck Rapid and one was found later by a local paddler below that rapid a short distance on the right shore. Today the other victim was found in the Train Wreck Rapid pinned on the bottom in very low water. Neither of these paddlers were experienced and had boats not meant for that river run. Sad that it happened but it does point out some basic issues with river running on high runoff water that is COLD. PLEASE consider finding out what is in that that river. Scout before getting into an unknown rapid. There were plenty of easier runs they could have done on the Carson. Wear the necessary gear, PFD’s, helmets and take safety gear. Human remains were discovered by the Carson River, near Trainwreck Rapids in Brunswick Canyon on Friday. Human remains found by the Carson River are believed to be a missing kayaker.

Martin’s body was recovered from the river in the summer of 2023. The investigation continues, and deputies still have to confirm the identity of the remains.
