North Platte from Routt to Treasure Island at 450 cfs?

[rsmiller]

Anyone tried a longer run at these levels? We were thinking of floating from routt putin to treasure island - 47 miles.

Trying to avoid pump house run this weekend if at all possible.

Thoughts?

Unless you're in a canoe, I'd scrap the North Platte idea. We did it last July 4th weekend, but there was a bit more water and it was still VERY BONY. The river widens considerably after the 6-mile takeout and Treasure Island will seem like an eternity from there...

Yeah that is what we figured. Planning to run pumphouse to burns with the rest of the states boaters.

Thanks for the beta. For future refrence do you remember what the flow was like last year when you ran it??
