The water on the river is
mostly Class I with a stretch of Class II from Churchill Dam down to Umsaskis Lake.

900 cubic feet per second and above are
considered ideal paddling conditions but we have had parties come thru during parts of last summer when
the flow was as low as 350 cfs and they didn’t seem to be complaining. To check water levels, Click here
