Sauk at Sauk was 4000 cfs
What a fun, splashy river! We were a group of 3 packrafts. We enjoyed a clean run and had zero portages. There’s logs that could be an issue but there were wide lanes for easy passage. Similarly, we found the rapids to have fun, wave trains of beautiful glacial blue water or a sneak route down the side if you so chose.
While on the flatter sections, we enjoyed the big views of the snowy peaks in the North Cascades and Whitehorse.
Overall the river was still cruising at almost 5mph, even with eddy hopping and surfing!
