7 boats journeying a distance of 110 kilometers over 3 days down the Kootenay River. August long-weekend riverside camping, lots of laughs and good times. This trip was from Kootenay River Day Use to Canal Flats.

Water flow was on the low end at 6.0cms, but that offers a very manageable level to get gear down the river in canoes.
