NRS Otter We did our first float of the year today. The river was flowing at 390 (cfs) and 38 (deg
F). We launched just below Kenai Lake in Cooper's Landing. The river was slow going until the first
rapid set near the Kenai Princess Lodge. This rapid was a short solid II. We encountered sets of
smaller rapids throughout the trip and all were easily negotiated. Medium sized boils were present
in deeper pools. Recommend this float for a begginer however there were several areas that the
river dragged and we walked to Russian River Ferry pullout from a 1000 yards up river. There was
also several good edding oppurtunities for begginers but not a lot of ferrying due to the low water
levels. The ice had receded several feet back past the bank from Cooper's to Russian River Ferry
making portage possible is necessary. However the ice still lined the banks in some areas from
Russian to Jim's but portage was still possible if necessary.
Notes section for information concerning ice on river. We were advised not to run through the
canyon below Jim's landing due to the presence of ice. Skilak Lake is also frozen at this time
