Swan

Does anyone know when the wild mile is suitable for an open boat canoe...? I imagine it's a bit pushy at about 2000cfs, and as such I think one might spend more time bailing then paddling. My thoughts are below 1500cfs might provide for some canoe creeking

Crowds for the race were huge.

There is a closed dirt road along the river. Drive up through big fork past a fly shop as far as you can. The road is closed so you will have to walk. The dirt road offers very limited views of the river. To get good shots you will have to hike down a steep hill on some very faint trails. I was able to hike the whole section but it was not easy. Expect lots of climbing over trees and rocks. The run is very continuous class 4 (at 2500cfs)

But that is the run above the playspot. There is an easily accessible playspot. But to access it you will need to speak to the home owner as the only way to take pictures is to be in someone

The play wave on the Swan is really fun. At this level it was great for spins, blunts, flip-turns, etc.
