Paddlers should be prepared to primitive camp out of their kayak/canoe, and are able to paddle small rapids with a loaded boat. Food is on your own.
We’ll meet Thursday night, 6PM at Nelson Landing to shuttle vehicles to the take-out at Sunrise Ferry Landing. Plan to start paddling early on Friday. Carpooling is encouraged to simplify shuttling.
Trip duration (2 or 3 days) will depend on water flow (right now the river is fast) and the pace that we paddle.
