Title: Chukuni River
Post by nctry_Ben on Apr 26^th, 2011 at 9:00pm

Question for probably Doug or Claire... I'm wondering how difficult it is to paddle up the Chukuni from Pine Ridge Rd to Olive Lake? I thought I read Jim Hegi or somebody having trouble getting past a chute or something.

We have known many folks that have travelled upstream to Olive Lake over the years. They choose to do it starting somewhere in mid-summer or in lower water. Spring freshet we wouldn't advise as the current is quite strong.

So its a "watch the waterlevels" kind of a upstream trip.

Late July to Oct is when most wil go that way.
