Trip Report

ReporterDan Varick

Ran Springbrooks down to HWY C @ 200cfs. The entire upstream section is a great creeky run that is mostly free of wood. As AW describes there are 3 main rapids. The sluice or dells rapid (wood RR), the double drop (most fun rapid on section ran both drops RL), and the slide before the eroded bank (ran the middle). Downstream of the slide and eroded bank the river gets wood choked and we made 10+ mandatory portages around dams and sketchy wood in sets. This runout was a bit tedious and consider using a 4WD vehicle to access the alternative TOs instead. Note that we ran shuttle via Springbrook and North York Rd's and both roads were in great condition this early in the season and 2WD was more then adequate.
