McCloud, Sept

Report

Account Boated two days in a row on this pretty river. Launched near the National Forest boundary to minimize the distance to Little Springs. Probably 20 cfs above Little Springs and maybe 50 to 75 cfs below. Big Springs added several hundred cfs to fill out the river. Several more springs came in along the way. Side creeks added minor amounts of water. The long sections of continuous water were super fun, but tiring. Paddling across the reservoir was hard the first day as there was a strong headwind. On the second day, winds were light and usually behind me.
