Brierlies Spring Paddling Session:  This year we were victimized by an unseasonable winter storm at the end of April.  With a fresh dump of snow and cool winter temperatures it felt like we were nearing the beginning of ski season once again!  Well, in the following weeks the temperature rose, the snow began to melt and the Mistaya Paddling Club embarked on the first paddling sessions of the season.  Everyone agreed that it felt great to be back on moving water (despite the cool water)!

 

Date(s):  April 27th and May 4th

Water Level:  the gauge is running yet…but April 27th it was pretty low, and May 4th it was med-low

Campsite: Closed and gate locked
