Boat Trips 2020

[NoBrakes!]

Would say my summer runs the same as previous, red deer, north sask, brazeau, (blindman if we get the once every 3-5 rain event at about Hoadley)

Would really like to coordinate about 4-6 guys to build 15-16ft sport boats container them up for New Zealand and run them next winter. Old Outlaw guys used to do it sounded like awesome trips, leave the boats there for sale after done the trip.

Coordinate this with the Worlds race and it would be a riot. The kiwis love eagle boats, I don't think resale would be an issue.

Kinbasket Lake, Pit river, Lots on the upper red deer, NS, camp up the Brazz and make my sport jet buddies bring gas. Tuchodi Lake would be a great trip and would love to do it this summer.

Pit river looks amazing. Lots of spots to stop and chill too.

What is the best time of year to go into the Kinuseo falls? Or is the water at a good level most all summer.
We did spend a few days on the Kinbasket and camped out at the Campers Haven RV park just before the Donald bridge after the scales just west of Golden. You can also ride ride your atv's right from the campgrounds up into the back country. There used to actually be a jet boat tour company that ran out of that area. Have to be careful of the occasional log jams.

K falls is good all summer and can get quite low later in the fall but still good running if you’re a good skinner .
Only a couple places with sharp rocks and good water through thous areas .
Mostly all pee gravel .
Nice easy trip and it’s nice to run down stream from launch to painted canyon as well if water is good .
Lots of rocks that way if water is low .

Never went last year but the water looked high all year. Pretty easy run even when it’s low. There’s one back channel that I did find a big rock in and poked a hole in my boat. It’s a great run highly recommended!

Where did you launch when you went on that side of Kinbasket? Went that why last summer and couldn’t find a place to launch? The campground would let me use there boat launch because I wasn’t camping there. The only one I found was 70km off the highway

Yes had thought that unfortunately can’t get away in October’s when they run the worlds. I think Rob / Alec always came out ok with resale when he and crew left boats behind for sale.

From GP it’s about 5 hrs to the Sikinanni Chief

If your heading to tuchodi it would be a shame not to drop in the sikanni. Favorite part about up there, no cell service.

What time of year you go to pitt Chris? It looks like a fun river. Trees and gravel mixed with some sand.
