TRIP 2
An exciting and technical float with double the water volume of trip 1, this is the fastest portion of the river. Best suited for more experienced paddlers seeking adventure, and more challenging waters or for groups that have successfully completed the upper section with confidence. Some portions of this section
include chutes and continuous riffles with standing waves of 2'-2.5' in normal water level.
Awesome.
TRIP 3
Upper & Middle Combo -
Approx. 11 Miles +/- 3.5-4 Hours
A great warm-up, this section of the river flows
at a swift pace with narrower twists & turns and overhanging trees & branches as the main obstacles. It is suitable for less experienced paddlers as it has less water volume than other portions of the river, making it more stream-like
in its' pace. This is a great way to enjoy floating
the Sturgeon for paddlers of all skill levels!
Make the most of your day and enjoy a longer
float on the water. This trip combines the upper
and middle stretch allowing you to extend your float time on the river. The first part of your journey will allow you to gain confidence, and become more comfortable with our boats and the pace of the river before transitioning into the faster water.
