Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportQuick float from Big Bar to Aikens to do some camping and fishing.
Big Bar made a nice put-in. Takeout at Aikens was pretty rough for two people with a raft and gear, but if you have a true 4x4 vehicle you could probably back down pretty close to the eddy above the bar and land there. Nice thing is the access points are so close I just walked up Hwy 96 to get the car.
Water was big and pushy but not too technical at 3k CFS. The Bluff Creek rapid lives up to its II+ designation. Nice clean channel through the middle, but you wouldn't want to drift in sideways and unaware, and there was a decent sized hole on the right.
