Thanks Bill! I certainly recall a bit of a threatening sweeper on it the time that I was there.

Unfortunately, I will have to call off this trip for today due to lack of interest. Looks like the level will be ~25 CMS which should of been pretty good for this run.

The takeout on Galetta Side Rd. is the better one. Ran the section below there once and didn't find it worth the extra effort.
Watch out for wood in the river, lots of it washes in from the edge of farmers' fields at this time of year.

Carp River: Sat. March 27

Anyone game on an easy Spring warm-up run of the mighty Carp? http://canadariversguidebook.ca/section/carp/
I've only run it once before and on that occasion we took out earlier (at Galetta Side Rd) than the recommendation above, and I believe that is the best option.

Due to Covid it would be a bicycle shuttle for me, unless someone has a pickup truck spot available.

Tentatively (based upon interest etc) Noon meetup at put-in.

Optional: Check out the play potential on the nearby Mississippi below Galetta afterwards. Pic attached.
