Nooksack River: Voluntary Closure
Posted by Eric on August 18, 2007 at 1:30 pm | In Stewardship, Announcements | No CommentsJust thought I’d throw a little reminder out there to all you folks who might be headed up to run the NF Nooksack: a voluntary closure is in place from August 15th through September 15th. This closure is implemented by the Forest Service, and mainly affects the Canyon section, from the Douglas Fir Campground bridge down to the green bridge below Glacier. For folks running the Horseshoe Bend section, the Forest Service requests that an alternate put-in just downstream of the normal spot be used (see below). This closure only applies when flow is below 1,000 cfs, and is intended to avoid disturbance to threatened Chinook salmon populations as they migrate upstream and spawn in low-gradient stretches.
