Gauge Conditions
The NF Canyon can be run below 3200 cfs on the Somes Bar gauge but becomes increasingly technical and rocky. Above 5500 cfs, the run gets pushier but pads out
Description
The river flattens out briefly just after Kanaka Falls and there's a huge bar on river left. At higher flows, a side channel opens up on the top river left side of the bar, but there are numerous large logjams in the side channel that cannot be run or easily portaged. Do not enter!
DO NOT ENTER THE RIVER LEFT SIDE CHANNEL BELOW KANAKA FALLS! There are numerous strainers blocking this smaller channel, most of which cannot be seen from the entry to the channel. Stick the the larger, obvious main channel on river right and boat past Red Bank Campground. There are warning signs along the river here.
