Gold River paddle trip April 18th to 21st 2003. Levels were good at 78cms. Paddlers from Victoria to Campbell River hooked up for a great weekend. Damian from Squamish Kayak brought over a pile of boats and gear to demo.
Fun was had by all, and those who dared, were taken to the hidden fruit of the Gold ....The Upper Upper! A swimming pool, hot tub, and liquor store all within a 5 minute drive of our campsite made for a relaxing weekend. The Gold River having four distinct Runs; the "Upper Upper", the "Upper"(Canyon Run), the "Middle", and the "Lower" offered everyone an opportunity get wet. My wife (Carol) and friends had such a good time paddling our canoes, we will definitely be there next year! Of course, that's if open boats are still allowed........
I would like to thank Al and the Campbell River crew for being good hosts and uncovering their hidden Gold....
Cheers
Wayne
