Tis closed

Use the pull-off on the highway on the other side of the bridge

Just the campground is closed. Your still ok to use the take out and just hike to the highway. Be aware of a pretty good strainer right at the top of blue chute. i actually have a video of it on my IG from a few days ago @vandown_bytheriver

Raft

Thanks, I'm looking to run a 14' raft & trailer.

Also known as Boulder Creek Rapid, Blue Chute refers to the entrance move. You want to be right there anyways, and you probably can sneak a boat past that strainer, but it is also pretty dang hazardous.

Columbine Landing opens later in the month, one of the last two weekends in May usually.

Also in a 14 ft boat, the lowest I like to run is about 500, but more like 700 is preferable. Lots of tight moves at 400 cfs, and if you are thinking about a frame you should think twice, it is tight and quick!

What's the normal put-in for this section? And are put-in and take-out trailer-friendly?
