Trip Report

ReporterJessica Kennedy

Ran from Popes Ferry to Amerson Water Park canoe ramp on Sunday 4/09/17 at approx 7000 cfs. At this point, the shoals are mostly washed over, though even a kayaker will bump a rock from time to time and a canoe will get stuck. The waves are definitely a bit of fun at this point, with the water right at the high end of what my recreational kayak can handle. Water was definitely muddy and not very good for swimming but definitely a fun run. The trip took about 3-1/2 hours at this level. We ran it at a much lower level back last August and it took over an hour longer.

Also, Amerson is back open with a canoe ramp that you will encounter first and another water access after the large bend in the river.
