Clark Fork

Submitting for reference as I haven't seen any posts about running this epic stretch above 20k.

Ran this yesterday evening at 27,000, and the day before at about 22,000. The river is definitely high and moving fast, but certainly runnable at this level. The upper section is fairly flat, but Cliffside 2 had one giant wave that was a good hit - and seal launching down the ramp is fun.

Lower gorge below Triple Bridges is big water, swirly class III+; Tumbleweed might qualify as IV- due to the big laterals and heavy swirls at the bottom. Fang had a big sticky wave. Definitely a different river than at lower levels - Split Rock, for instance, is completely underwater and a very big wave train.

GOOD TO GO - but have a good boat, competent class III+, IV- skills and friends with you. A swim at this flow might not be catastrophic if you're on-point, but could easily turn into a very big pain in the butt.
