Memorial Day Weekend on the Twisp

ReporterThomas O'Keefe
Gauge Reading1100 cfs at TWISP RIVER NEAR TWISP, WA

Had a good run over Memorial Day weekend with flows of 1100 cfs. It took a little over two hours to run the 11 miles from Buttermilk Creek Bridge down to the Twisp River bridge. We had channel-spanning log that had to be portaged a couple miles into the run. We also portaged the fish collection dam although it looked like you could run it just right of center at the flows we experienced. Lots of wood in play and along the banks but nothing that gave us any trouble. This is a fun intermediate run with sections of fun continuous class III with a few stretches of class II.
