Author: jalmquistSubject: chehalis basin strategy (strategy = dam the river)Posted: 07 Oct 2016 at 12:38pmAh, Crim Creek. That was a little exploratory adventure with Gary Korb and crew. Unfortunately, early in the run at the first or second ledge drop, there was a FU branch or small tree coming off the bank, angled across the lip at chest level, right where you wanted to be. We tried having so...

Author: jonlcrainSubject: chehalis basin strategy (strategy = dam the river)Posted: 07 Oct 2016 at 12:05pmThe fall stoke had me thinking about the Chehalis zone and it's tributaries. I knew it was all locked up behind a gate so I started looking into the permit process and eventually sent an email to Tom at AW asking about it. He clued me into this. I know he is reviewing the document now and A...

Whitewater Forum : chehalis basin strategy

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: jalmquistSubject: chehalis basin strategyPosted: 07 Oct 2016 at 8:36amWow. Thanks Jon for bringing attention to this. Recent access to the Chehalis sucks (thanks Weyerhaeuser), but there's some great paddling on that river. The gorge above Pe Ell is a little gem, and the runs upstream are unique and have some good play.
