A few flood changes to note if you’re paddling the Kananaskis River

- Undercut at Hollywood - change in flow direction causing more water to pushing into it.
- Mountain Wave - multiple blocks midstream.
- Lower race course - midstream rocks- flow pushes over one, onto the next.
- Lower race course - left hand eddy berms have random rocks pushed downstream into the eddies.

Barrier Dam is shut down today in order to clean the forebay of flood debris.
We will be taking the opportunity to evaluate the river and repair the river walkway around cartwheel in preparation for Kanfest, PanAm Championships, and Nationals.
If anyone is bored, we could likely use some hands with gravel and/or slalom gate repair.
