Topic: Spring Paddling: Upper Skootamatta River Saturday March 26

[Bill Schlarb]

Hi folks,

For those interested, a group of us are going to run the Upper Skootamatta on Saturday.
For a description of the river check out the following links:

As well, check out Larry's write-from last year: http://smf.cdb-ottawa.com/index.php?topic=5944.msg20820#msg20820

Please note that this is not a run for beginners, Simpsons Chutes is continuous class 3-4 and swims can be long.

Plans are to meet at the Eagleson Park & Ride at 9:00am or at the put-in in Flinton at 11:00am [GPS 44.69234, -77.21190


The usual caveats about spring paddling and cold water gear apply...

Please feel free to use this thread to arrange rides etc.
