Landsburg Park. SE 252nd Pl. & Landsburg Rd. SE Ravensdale, WA
Did you know the Cedar Slalom races qualify for the ACA‘s The Regional Teams Initiative? NEW this year - the ACA will award a cash prize to the top athletes ages 16 years and younger in each geographic region. This prize will fund the attendance of a training camp at RIVERSPORT in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma during the Olympics! We‘re inviting young folks out to the course for a day of fun and learning about this awesome sport!
Based on river projections, I‘ve decided to lead this trip at the Nisqually River. This would be an excellent river for those just graduated from the Beginner Whitewater class.
The Nisqually is a scenic 10 mile run through Joint Base Lewis McChord south of Tacoma. It is mostly class 2 with a single class 3 rapid that has a good recovery pool afterwards. It is a longer run, so it is suggested to pack a lunch or substantial snack.
Meet at Yelm Hydro-Plant take-out, ready to shuttle by 11am. Yelm Hydro-Plant is located in Nisqually Park (not to be confused with Nisqually State Park, which is a different location). See Google Maps link for location. We will shuttle to the put-in at McKenna Park.
Leader‘s choice on the North end: Silly Stilly or Middle Sauk, depending on water levels.
I’ll email registrants the night before on where to meet.
If Sauk: Bachman County Park (take out)
If Stilly: McDonalds in Granite Falls (then we caravan to Verlot Ranger Station, take out).
Open pool play in both ends. No polo. Come out, get wet, have fun!
Be sure to rinse your boat thoroughly before entering the pool.
A couple rules -
......................................................................................................................................................................
1 - (MOST IMPORTANT) - RINSE YOUR BOAT. Either at home or at the pool. All the schmutz, dirt and leaves need to be OUT. The boat needs to be CLEAN or we might lose this pool forever. If you can‘t find the hose to rinse your boat at the pool, ask someone.
......................................................................................................................................................................
2 - Helmet REQUIRED
......................................................................................................................................................................
3 - We need to be completely out of the water by 9:30pm, and out of the building, doors locked behind us by 10:00pm.
......................................................................................................................................................................
4- No seal-launching. Even if you just slide your empty boat in/out of the pool, put a towel or kickboard under it to protect the pool lip
Casual skills practice and hangout every Tuesday and Thursday to practice fundamentals, learn play boating, and river running skills. We will progress to harder sections as the season progresses.
Plan is to paddle the classic Middle Middle run. If water levels don‘t cooperate, leader may switch to another Class III+, most likely Silly Stilly or Middle Sauk.
We‘re back for a second year at Rough and Tumble Pub in Ballard to celebrate all the bada@$ women in our community who crush some whitewater. We‘ll have speakers and a raffle again this year. Come out, meet some new paddle people and support Diversify Whitewater and American Whitewater and the incredible work they do. To register, click on the button to your right.
This event is open to all genders. If you paddle with some awesome ladies, learned from some talented water women or just want to meet some new paddle buddies this event is for you.

Snoqualmie - MM Tanner parking lot
Let‘s kickstart the weekend with a float down the Middle Middle Snoqualmie!
Those participating should be comfortable with a 3+ skill level, as the amount of daylight will be limited.
We‘ll be looking for flows of at least 1,000 CFS.
Plan to be at the Tanner take out at 5 pm, ready to shuttle by 5:15.
Put in will be at Island Drop/Mine Creek.
Adventure Time! This run has a true wilderness feel and even though it seems close to home, it takes a little more effort to run this section.
The intention is to run the class 3 section from Big Creek to Spur 10 bridge, which is similar in difficulty to the lower Green River gorge with the potential for fresh wood. The road to the put in is a bit of a rugged dirt road so higher clearance vehicles are preffered. This section of river runs through private logging property and there is a mandatory $12 day use permit (link included). Please don‘t buy your day use permit early becasue it is only good for the one day stated on it! I will confirm levels are good the week of the trip and we can coordinate getting the day use permits. I can print them out but everyone will need to have a copy in hand for the trip. There is also a 1.5 mile hike out on a logging road since we won‘t have vehicle access. Its fairly flat and wide open, just a much longer carry out than many are used to.
If levels are too low, we will run the lower section of the NF Snoqualmie from my house to Three Forks Park. This section is about 3 miles and a class 2+ section. There is about a .5 mile hike to the put in down a dry creek bed that is pretty rugged so be prepared.
For either section we end up running, we will meet at Three Forks Park (map link included) to set shuttle.
If you have not paddled with me or are unsure if these runs are within your skill set, please reach out to me with an email or text to coordinate.

Meet at Blue Stone Cafe in Randle at 10:00am and we will set up shuttle.
Mostly class III boat scouting but need to navigate wood in the river. Class IV rapid ‘White lightening‘ is an easy portage.
On May 17th, 2008, we lost Mike Stano, a good friend and valued member of the WKC and paddling community. So, 16 years later let’s meet mid/late afternoon and celebrate Mike by paddling the upper gorge. Afterwards we’ll hang at Paradise to reminisce and swap stories, so bring your favorite snacks and beverage of choice. Didn’t know Mike? Doesn’t matter – he’d want you there anyway!
Note: This is a social paddle for any/all to celebrate Mike, and not a guided or “lead” trip down the Green.
Meet at Blue Stone Cafe in Randle at 10:00 to set up shuttle.
Mostly class III boat scouting but need to navigate wood in the river. Class IV rapid ‘White lightening‘ is an easy portage.
This will be a fun time on the Sky to practice hitting differnt features. Our starting location will depend on the flow. If we launch above Boulder Drop, portaging Boulder will be recommended for everyone who is not comfortable with that drop. The Sky offers tons of features, and we‘ll play with as many as we can.
