Every July, WRRR descends on the White Salmon River for a fun weekend of fast whitewater and sunshine! We run the Section from BZ corner to below the old Northwestern lake. https://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/view/river-detail/3064/main
Big cat boats and loaded rafts don’t work well! When staging, DO NOT launch way early and clog up the river access. Many commercial outfitters and other river users need access too. It’s super easy to keep your boat at the top. Get dressed, shuttle, get your PFD on and then launch and paddle into the safety eddy. Identify and launch with your safety pods in small groups so we don’t get in each others way. Thankyou for your consideration!
Join us on the beautiful White Salmon River. Camping is at Hollenbeck Park and free for WRRR members. **We will be meeting Saturday, at the BZ Corner Put-in, Saturday at 10am.** Shuttle leaves shortly thereafter. The river is a pool drop Class 3+ with optional Class V Husum Falls. The portage/lining is fairly straightforward at Husum falls, but does take skill. It is usually best to keep boats moving and regroup in the Eddie’s below the footbridge just around the corner.
The white salmon is best run with light boats or paddle rafts and IK’s / Hardshells. Boats require some effort to get to the bottom at the put in.
Camping is available Friday and Saturday nights at Hollenbeck Park 33 Mt Adams Road, Trout Lake, WA (off Hwy 141 to Mt Adams about 1/2 mile north of the store restaurant) Some years she has guests Thursday night so please respect others if you are arriving earlier Friday!
There is a Sunday trip going TBD at camp.
Trip Leaders: Aaron and Kat Birrell, Nancy Douty, Randy Rogers, WRRR Board
