Rapid River off Dease River

[ryanb]

Does anyone know if the Rapid River off the Dease River is boat-able in August or at all?

We tried once, didnt get far. More of a creek than a river.

Really? What time of year? Looks like a fairly major tributary on maps.

Can't say I know the river you're talking about. From what I hear, from the north end of the Lake to the Dease river crossing on hwy 37 is a pretty tough go right now.

i have seen small jet boats 16ft? up there deep in sheep country.water is real low this year.

It was bang,bang,smash, jump a beaver dam, turn around.

Been past the Rapid many times years ago but I would say its boatable with those smaller rock crusher boats. That area is good moose hunting for sure maybe some sheep if you want to walk.

yep, try it once then ended up at the stikine hunting the pittman toucho rivers instead.

Has anyone heard of people canoeing the rapid from cry down to the dease? Looks like it could be a cool trip if the river is suitable. thanks.
