Kayaks and Packrafts on the Nisqually

ReporterThomas O'Keefe
Gauge Reading1000 cfs at NISQUALLY RIVER AT MCKENNA, WA
FlowMedium Flow

A fun trip on a May weekend with light mist in the air. This was a good flow on the lower end of medium water level but plenty of water for a kayak and a couple packrafts. We encountered no signficant hazards except for a couple pieces of wood along the side in a couple places and the fish trip near the end of the run but was easy to avoid

The surf wave close to the take-out was at a fun level.
