Boaters should have both skills and appropriate gear for cold water and continuous rapids. We will boat different runs each day depending on interest and group composition.
The club has reserved 5 campsites in McKenzie Bridge Campground that can accommodate a maximum of 10 vehicles, so participants must RSVP to trip leaders. The club will ask for donations to cover the cost of campsites.
