This is a wilderness float, you should be rested and prepared for moderate physical exertion.  You will experience nature as it exists, once the ride starts we cannot stop it for you to get off.

 Spring is just around the corner. The water is still extemely cold but daytime temps make float trips tolerable.  The days are getting longer and we should see buds on the trees in a few weeks.

Hazards:  Wear your lifevest. Hypothermia is a very real danger this time of year.  The river can be floated safely through the winter BUT you must be prepared. You must be prepared for  night time temps even if you do not plan to be on the water after sundown.  Guide service is available for inexperienced  paddlers who wish to float during the winter season.  Only experienced paddlers will be permitted to rent boats without a guide for the winter season.  

This is a very scenic float for the active/adventurous person, but if you are soft stay on the couch.
