Peshastin Creek

A thrilling, absolutely continuous Class III/IV step-up paddle for those who know how to stay in their boat. Fresh Squeezed is a fun series of shoots (stay right), but there are plenty of other holes and laterals to keep one alert for this whole run. So much fun. We had a crew of 6; 5 creekers and myself in a packraft. Two of the hardshellers ran Ingalls first and then we continued to do some huge wave Wenatcheee stuff later. No riverwide wood.

We began our day with a morning run on Ingall's Creek and continued with a run on Peshastin. After a break for lunch we did a run on the Wenatchee from the end of Tumwater Canyon down to Cashmere for a full day of whitewater. Flows on the Wenatchee were at 12,300 cfs which is a good user-friendly level for Peshastin. There were a couple of wood hazards but we were able to see them in time and avoid them.

5/11/2014 run from Fresh Squeezed down to the Wenatchee at 400 cfs. When scouting Fresh Squeezed we noted smaller wood at the top just as things pick up. One of our crew thought one could ride over it with a right to left angle at this level. Will change at different levels. Definitely worth looking at if running above Fresh Squeezed. On the lower section wood in several places that can be skirted carefully - one with a scootch over shallows next to shore on the right.

A fine day on Peshastin Creek

I'm not sure I agree that what you can see from 97 gives a good indication of the character of the run. Most of the really active whitewater is hidden from view.

Note that around halfway into the run there is a diversion dam (approximately 5' tall). You will see a gate on the right and a house on the left. My group had no problem running this one down the middle.
