Re: Bird Creek
For those planning on checking out Bird Creek, last weekends deluge of rain washed out the log that we use to get across Penguin Creek. We just put our drysuits on to get across the creek, but the flows were larger than last week's run. I think you can use the 4-wheeler trails to cross on the bridge...

Re: Echo Bend, Eagle River
Echo Bend is back! Floated yesterday afternoon, and it was a bit more pushy at 591 cfs (3.81' on the gauge). But once it comes down to the 3.5' range, it'll be on.Paddling Regression wrote:Echo Bend has been pretty sweet.

Re: South Fork of Eagle River
I floated the entire section of the SoFo from the upper bridge to the take out at Hiland Road. The lower section from S. Creek to Hiland has a minor bit of wood, but it is navigable. It is a much steeper drop/mile than the middle segment. The rapids are continuous, with difficult micro-eddy's. The l...

Re: South Fork of Eagle River
I floated the South Fork last night, from the bridge just below Hanging Valley to the bridge at South Creek Road. Water levels were sufficient for a fun and awesome run! A little scraping here and there, but nothing other than expected for some SoFo style butt-boating. A couple of things to be aware...

Re: Campground Rapids, ER
It seems that now that the Eagle River gauge has been fixed, that it is miscalibrated. Water levels for the evening of 6/23 showed around 950 cfs, but it was pretty pushy and juicy in the campgrounds....say more like 1200 cfs? Anyone have any historical experience of different gauge calibrations for...

Re: Bird Creek
I took JD's advice and headed down to Bird Creek for some "packlapping".

Re: Six Mile
I believe this wood is river right, just after "The Slot". Easily avoidable to river left. The other one is on the river right side of "Sheet Metal Drop". You can go under the log in a packraft. We had 3/6 swim the first canyon. "Wall Slammer" after "The Waterfall" is just that, watch out!

Re: Lion's Head, Matanuska River
Thanks, that makes more sense.
I think we are going to run LH this weekend.

Re: Lion's Head, Matanuska River
The water level reads 7.15 feet, what water level is this considered (low/med/high)? And what would be optimum to run LH in a packraft? Thx.

Re: Packraft Rescue Training
Scott made a mistake on the dates. Its a Saturday through Tuesday, 29,30, 31 Aug and 01 Sep. He is trying to get some more people who are interested to fill up another course. The 21-24 Aug and Labor Day weekend courses are filled up.
