BC's Finest Creeks - Raft River

Raft River is situated very close to clearwater in the Interior of British Columbia.
This creeking jem has only a small window of around a week, but if you are lucky enough to time it right, you will come to appreciate all 16km of this run.

It begins a shallow braids for around 2-3km as it begins to enter the canyon. from here very continious class 3 rapids soon lead to boat-scoutable class 4. the last 2km of this run is fairly steep and walled in, however it becomes drop pool in character before falling around 25 ft off raft falls - The last drop and take out from the pool below
