Early Summer Trip Through Skookum Canyon

ReporterThomas O'Keefe
Gauge Reading1100 cfs at ST JOE RIVER AT CALDER, ID

We stayed at Turner Flat Campground and did this run twice as an evening run on 6/29 at 1250 cfs and a morning run on 7/2 1100 cfs. Flows were great for a class III experience through a mile of whitewater in Skookum Canyon that we enjoyed with our kids. We pulled out at Sisters Creek and hiked up the side canyon a few hundred yards.
