| I want to run the Murray up to the falls this Saturday. Coming from Rycroft, do I put in off the highway somewhere? is there anything to worry about on the river this time of year? |

Head south out of Tumbler and then hang a right onto HWY 29 (Hwy to Chetwynd) follow it down the hill and the second bridge is the Murray, you will see the boat launch on your right, its like 5 min out of Tumbler. I imagine there is lots of water there right now so not much to worry about if you stay in the main channel. Enjoy!
Go back again in late August for a completely different experience of the Murray and the Falls...that's my favorite time to go, here's a vid of one of our trips Sept Long weekend, a couple years ago.

| Awesome trip, water level was super high, it took about 80 minutes to get up there. We were able to run that back channel up into the pool |
