| Flow | Medium Runnable |
Three of us (2 kayaks and a packraft) paddled the Chiwawa today from Huckleberry Ford to Plain at 960cfs. Lots of wood up high but everything was navigable without portage. Lots of new-looking stream restoration projects on the left bank downstream of the put-in (engineered log jams). Popped out a couple times to scout a few blind corners. Guidebook said 13 miles but we got 16.5 miles on GPS track--went quick but felt like a long day.
Huckleberry ford campground had no signage on chiwawa river road, we found it relatively easily via downloaded maps.
Our first time on this run and it was wonderful.
