Title: Skootamata - June 3rd
Post by: Larry W on June 02, 2017, 07:33:00 AM: Looks like the levels are holding around 20 cms.

Meet: Eagleson park and ride for car-pooling
time: 8:30 am

or at the put-in in Flinton around 10:30 am

it's a class III-IV river ... the canyon is the draw which is about 800 m long of continuous rapids.

here's Jon's video from last year

Thanks,

Probably wouldn't run the river much lower because the canyon would get quite bony....

Post by: Bill Schlarb on June 05, 2017, 06:04:09 PM: Seems every time we paddle the Skoot, the river seems to wants some "tribute" in the form of a swim or two (I know)...
Great river, the gorge section is amazing.
