Bow River Launch update

From Michelle @ Bow R Shuttles:
"Except for a few slabs of rotting ice just downstream from the midpoint of the gravel bar at McKinnon Flats, the rest of the gravel bar is now free of ice. Similar to the past couple of years, some caution is needed in deciding which route to take to the water's edge. The gravel is soft in some places, and easy to get stuck in. It was a challenge for one of my clients to get off the gravel bar with his two wheel drive vehicle several days ago.

The ice has melted away completely at the Legacy Island boat launch. However, more silt has been deposited in the "ramp window" that leads from the parking lot to the river's edge.

Kindest regards,
Michelle"
