Document - Report on Whitewater Recreation Opportunities Downstream of Condit Dam

Abstract

A short run with approximately6 - 8 classI I-III rapids, which generally are small riffle-type drops which do not require complex maneuvering. In addition, there is one ledge drop of approximately 6 vertical feet about mid way through the run (near Steel Bend). This drop has a vertical waterfall chute on river right and a 45-degree sloping chute on river left, with the entire drop confined in a vertical-walled canyon. The drop can be scouted and/or portaged on either side of the river, perhaps more easily on river left.

Description

Report on whitewater recreation downstream of Condit Dam completed as part of studies for the relicensing of the hydropower project.
