Chateaugay

We ran this section on 4/28/2025 at roughly 48m3 per the Huntington Dam readings. We parked at the powerline upper lot on Healy Rd. and walked the boats to the river.

Following a couple hundred yards we came across the first couple of slides. First Slide we ran right to left crossing the first diagnal hole at the base of the left cliff. Second slide had a significant hole in the bottom center with wood. We ran down the left. Before the canyon holding 'No Scout' is a wide/slow moving section of river. We got out on the right in a grassy flat to attempt to scout the canyon via drone. In the canyon are two notable low angle slides going through tall canyon walls. When the walls begin to shorten in height look for any eddie plausable to catch and get out for a scout of 'no scout' on river right. We came into it by suprise and it is A RIDE! Staying all the way right would be the most favorable line. The hole immediately after No Scout is easily boofable at this level but boogying left would be fine. The next slide has wood on the left but center or right is clean.

The first dam is an easy portage hiking up the access road and finding a trail on the left that reconnects you to the second dam access road.

Lots of class two boogie water to the tunnel. Drive down the center for a great boof. Right after the tunnel drop move river left. the river right channel is clogged with strainers.

We looked at the runnable dam and decided to cut out trip short there with intentions of returning to complete the run at a later date.
