Yep. A Tad bit Lower than when the club ran it for the first time a couple years ago! I would consider this level as Low.

Great run though! :) Loved the video!

This one is a good demonstration of why nobody should paddle a Liquid Logic El Tippy:

Hey, thanks for the slo-mo boof!

Three (two?) years ago it was a bit higher. Jaclin Dufresne has a few videos on his YouTube channel,

Medium - medium low. Supposedly it can be run all summer, even in low levels. Just a note of warning though, there are a couple of mandatory rough portages that are in my opinion, class 3-4.   ;)

Good looking logo! ;)

Never done this river, out of curiosity? What general level was this? Low, medium, high? I'm hoping low to medium-low considering how rocky a lot of the runs seem to be.

RIVIÈRE BLANCHE in Thurso QC with the CdB's Bill Schlarb, Jim Forbes, Christian Gigault, Daniel Dubuc, Marc Gendron and François Leclerc. There's not a whole lot of footage on this river so I hope this gives an idea to people who have never done it. Enjoy.
