Slab Creek – Slab Creek Dam to Mosquito Bridge (~7 miles)

On a day when California’s Slab Creek dam was spilling about 1400 cfs, we headed to the put-in, about 30 minutes from Placerville, CA.  Flows were ideal, and the rapids were fun and non-stop, pretty much continuous excitement from put-in to take-out.  Continue reading …

East Fork Lewis – Sunset Falls

 

We headed up to the East Fork of the Lewis River on Sunday to check out Sunset Falls.  A pretty simple put-in about 1.5 miles upstream let us put 2 Bullet 12′s and a kayak on the river.  This is a spring-time rain-fed run with a great waterfall drop, about 1 to 1.5 hours from Portland.  The closest town is Battle Ground, Washington.
