Driving over the pass to Tofino Jakub and myself decided to have a look at the Kennedy river. We came upon a little known section of some small rapids and a wonderful 7.5m waterfall into another 2m drop. This section had been run before but dosen’t get many boaters out there. It was nice to do something on the way to the west coast. We scouted it that evening and decided to come back with Conor the next day to give it a go.
Loading up the next day we put the boats on my car and drove up to Kennedy lake to drop off the motor boat and Conor’s truck for our late afternoon activites. We had a short wooded walk to the put in, there a couple small drops, 3 short portages and the waterfall section. Next time, might just hit the waterfall section for a couple of laps.
It was a gorgeous afternoon out on the river. Enjoy the pictures and Video… the video is at the bottom.
