Backyard Run
| Reporter |
Pleasantly surprised by this section right in my backyard. I've lived in Yelm for 4 years and never even realized what a nice gem this section is. The online gauge read 1100 cfs today and I'm not sure how much water is diverted but it had enough water in it to be fun and eddy hop in out from around boulders in the rapids. This was the first time running and it was a lot more continuous II/III than I thought is was gonna be.....not too bad as far as flat water goes. Definitely will be hitting this up a lot more to practice rolling and keeping up on my skills. Seems like a good run for a beginner to step up and skill build. Any Yelm boaters can PM me on FB if you need a partner to run down it. Kevin Davidson
