water was clean and the river is high, I no trouble with my 20' 12degree

How long is it to get up there? Would love to try it out one day.

 

[FastFarmer]

We might need to commandeer us a skinny water machine?! Lol

It’s about 6.5hrs from Edmonton. Wicked nice drive from Dawson creek to Tumbler. I am not sure if they paved the Heritage highway all the way to Tumbler yet. If they did it would cut down some time. But if not that can be an ugly rough road.

You can make it up in a 14 deg if you can read the river. Lots of fun channels if you got a skinny water boat.

I heard you can take the Pine from Taylor and get up there in a long trip. couple day trip from what the boys said.

I have seen lots of pics of the falls over the years, always wanted one with my tub in it. 21-22' Sport boats have made it for sure.

I was cruising at 25mph and it took about an 1 1/2 hours

ya the road to Tumbler from the Alberta border sucks, probably better to drive to Dawson, head towards Chetwynd highway 97 and go to Tumbler down highway 52, all paved

Yah that’s the way I go. I know that other road is paved part way but it’s be 8-10 years since I been on it. Never knew if the finished paving it all the way. Good to know they haven’t so I don’t try it.

Judging from the amount of water coming over the falls in Clodes picture it would be a good time to go for you now. Lots of water !

That’s what I’m thinking! I might have to grab the 17’ Sport and leave the big girl home! Lol

Drove down to the river today. It has come up 9-10’ in 24 hours. Full trees rolling down the river now.

Got out for a couple hrs before the weather turned nasty here.Kids got some ZUPPING in. Water is pretty chilly for July 1.

This is my other 18’ Catalina.
I built a sbc for it.
I put it in the water and got a top speed of 51 mph.
I was disappointed big time.
I’ve now put a deposit down on a sbc 454 ci.
Just a couple more payments and this should be a great sleeper.
