Because of COVID-19 Please wear masks during shuttle with the windows down. Also you can choose to run your shuttle ahead of time with the help of a friend or family member. Or be prepared to use extra cars to limit the number of people in each car. WE WILL Not be piling 5-6 people in one car like we use to! Please be supportive of this for everyone’s welfare. 🙂

This is a class I-II river and the dam release will be 2 generators that will make big waves so Please be prepared for very cold water and wear appropriate gear. PFD’s & Helmets are required as well as Spray Skirts for decked boats. If you aren’t sure or need anything, reach out and we can all bring extra cold-water gear (insulating long sleeves or splash tops are recommended).

We stop for a break about halfway down so don’t forget your power snacks! We are usually off the water by 7:00 or so and afterwe get back to the Ballpark & transfer boats back to our vehicles by 7:30-ish.
