Jayhad Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hey all I heard a rumour that the carseland boat launches were washed away....... anyone been out there, and have any concrete info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutfriend Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutfriend Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 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.
