Carseland Boat Launch

[Jayhad]

Hey all I heard a rumour that the carseland boat launches were washed away....... anyone been out there, and have any concrete info?

The road down the hill is slumping a bit, but the launches appeared to be in decent shape with some silt. Low visibility limited being able to see what was happening under water (FYI-The gate was locked last week)

Legacy Island is not useable logs across the access road and a tree across the boat launch.

That's what I was wondering, pull some trees aside with winches is pretty simple

Partly yes, partly no.

Removing the fallen trees would be easily completed by a few strong backs and a couple chain saws, but I think that the silt that needs to be removed would require a backhoe to re-open access to the river. The chapter did some work recently on this and there is more silt there now- sorry I did not take photos. Here are images from Bow River Shuttles Blog from like a month ago, http://bowrivershuttles.blogspot.com/searc...;max-results=10 the area is filled in again.

For this to happen the flows would have to recede in the side channel enough to get equipment through, there was about a meter of flow in the side channel last week.
