After 2 years of poor spring snowpack/river levels on the Silly Stilly, this year is looking to be much much better!

Now that daylight savings is kicking in I'll be planning on getting out and doing evening runs during the week.

For the first few runs of the season, while days are still relatively short, paddlers should be familiar with the run or just very solid in their skills so we can get down the crik quickly. Later in the season (May - July) we can have a more relaxed pace and take more time showing first timers down.

Let me know if you're interested in joining for runs! It would be great to get a consistent crew on the Stilly.

I'm interested too.

If you are starting an email list please add me. Email address is: Jbmahood@outlook.com

I live this run, but I have a strange work schedule, let me know if a run is happening!

Hope this isn't too late to be helpful.

At the Stilly the best plan is to leave a vehicle at the big turnout across the road from Verlot Ranger station and then take out at Verlot Campground. There is a trail from the parking area that goes down to a small bridge into the campground. You may want to check it ahead of time so you can recognize the takeout beach from the river.

I like to use the "big bend" put-in which is just a spot along the river with a turnout and short scramble over a few rocks down to the river. You'll see it about 4-5 miles up the road from the takeout. You can also go a mile further to Boardman creek... there's not much more whitewater up there, but there is some ugly wood to portage.

This week we're on again for Tuesday!

Tuesday, 4/18. Meet at takeout at 5:30.

Thanks for having us JOSE!
