It was below the optimal flow but possible to get down in lightly loaded rafts. We boated from Similkameen Recreation site, through Shankers Bend, finishing at the Enloe Reservoir. This was a trip with local, regional, and state leaders to experience the river and gain a better understanding of the restoration potential of removing Enloe Dam.
