"The Narrows section of the Humptuilips is one of the true gems of the Olypmic Peninsula. Flowing through a narrow gorge tucked within a narrow strip of old growth forest give one a sense of the true beauty of the Pacific coastal rainforest..."

Assuming flows hold out we will meet at the gun range clearing on Donkey Creek Road (FR22) east off Highway 101. I will send out a pin location before the meetup date to everyone. We will locate a suitible camping are for those that wish to stay overnight and make a second run on Sunday.

Open pool play / practice in shallow end only. Polo in deep end. Come out, get wet, have fun!

Rinse your boat thoroughly before entering the pool.

If you want to play polo part of the time, that‘s fine too. If so, this is the registration to use.

This event will register you for kayak polo in the deep end. If you want general practice in the shallow end, use the other event on this same date

A couple rules -

......................................................................................................................................................................

1 - (MOST IMPORTANT) - RINSE YOUR BOAT. Either at home or at the pool. All the schmutz, dirt and leaves need to be OUT. The boat needs to be CLEAN or we might lose this pool forever. If you can‘t find the hose to rinse your boat at the pool, ask someone.

......................................................................................................................................................................

2 - Helmet REQUIRED
......................................................................................................................................................................

3 - We need to be completely out of the water by 9:30pm, and out of the building, doors locked behind us by 10:00pm.
......................................................................................................................................................................

4- No seal-launching. Even if you just slide your empty boat in/out of the pool, put a towel or kickboard under it to protect the pool lip

Casual skills practice and hangout every Tuesday and Thursday to practice fundamentals, learn play boating, and river running skills. We will progress to harder sections as the season progresses.

I plan on meeting at the Copper Canyon take-out Wednesday and LEAVING the take-out by 11am. Copper Canyon: https://www.lcpud.org/recreation/take-out-sites/. Please note that there are no directions on how to get to Copper Canyon on the PUD website. On the map, it is not labeled, except as "take-out".

Let‘s kickstart the weekend with a float down the Middle Middle Snoqualmie!

Those participating should be comfortable with a 3+ skill level, as the amount of daylight will be limited.

We‘ll be looking for flows of at least 1,000 CFS.

Plan to be at the Tanner take out at 5 pm, ready to shuttle by 5:15.

Put in will be at Island Drop/Mine Creek.

Adventure Time! This run has a true wilderness feel and even though it seems close to home, it takes a little more effort to run this section.

The intention is to run the class 3 section from Big Creek to Spur 10 bridge, which is similar in difficulty to the lower Green River gorge with the potential for fresh wood. The road to the put in is a bit of a rugged dirt road so higher clearance vehicles are preffered. This section of river runs through private logging property and there is a mandatory $12 day use permit (link included). Please don‘t buy your day use permit early becasue it is only good for the one day stated on it! I will confirm levels are good the week of the trip and we can coordinate getting the day use permits. I can print them out but everyone will need to have a copy in hand for the trip. There is also a 1.5 mile hike out on a logging road since we won‘t have vehicle access. Its fairly flat and wide open, just a much longer carry out than many are used to.

If levels are too low, we will run the lower section of the NF Snoqualmie from my house to Three Forks Park. This section is about 3 miles and a class 2+ section. There is about a .5 mile hike to the put in down a dry creek bed that is pretty rugged so be prepared.

For either section we end up running, we will meet at Three Forks Park (map link included) to set shuttle.

If you have not paddled with me or are unsure if these runs are within your skill set, please reach out to me with an email or text to coordinate.
