San Joaquin near Gravelly Ford

Report

Account This picture is actually taken 6 or 7 miles downstream of Skaggs bridge, and it is obviously not whitewater, but..... This section of the San Joaquin has been dried up since the construction of Friant dam in the 1940's. Every few years, winter or spring releases from Friant will be big enough to rewater this section and allow boating. Of course when there is enough water to allow good boating the county naturally tries to close off all river access! The scenery out here was boring, but the birdlife was interesting.
