Warm Springs to Mountain View Oar Boat Run
| Reporter | Todd Hoffman |
We ran from Warm Springs Guard Station to Mountain View Campground in a 14 foot oar rigged raft. Flows were around 2,250 @Lowman. The run took around 3.5 hours. Plenty of water at this flow, but Little Surprise and Kirkham Gorge and are a tight fit in an oar boat. Make sure you are able to put your boat exactly where you want it before attempting to row this run. I would recommend 4WD for the Warm Springs launch site with a boat trailer, as it is a little steep getting out. I would also recommend that large groups not try to take out at Mountain View, as there isn't much space there. Its fine for a boat or too, but might get a little hectic with several boats and vehicles, especially with trailers. Continue a couple of miles more down to Deadwood.
