Hello boaters,
We are planning a canoe trip for mid June on the Yampa from Craig on down. We will have 3 canoes, 6 adults, one 6 yo child and a small dog. I'd love to hear anyone's experiences on this stretch. Any info on put in, take out and camping would be greatly appreciated. Right now (May 19th 2017) the river is flowing at 4200 cfs. What is the good discharge range for canoes on that stretch? The canoeists experience is varied. We will have one child and a dog. Also is the fishing worthwhile on this section? And if there is an outfitter in the area that will shuttle vehicles for a fee to the take out I would love that info as well. As far as the take out goes is it worth it to float all the way down to Juniper Hot Springs? And are the hot springs open nowadays?
Thanks in advance for your information.
