Paddling on the Koksilah River

Koksilah River - The Koksilah Canyon is a fun, moderately-difficult section of whitewater on southern Vancouver Island. The Canyon features 3 major drops, all of which have relatively easy portage options. Additionally, the river is runnable/enjoyable at a very wide range of flows, which makes it a popular intermediate/advanced trip.

Koksilah River - A beautiful gem of a run suitable to intermediates but still enjoyable for advanced paddlers, the Burnt Bridge section features and open streambed with multiple class III & III+ drops (and one IV- at Burnt Bridge). As typical of small, Vancouver Island runs, this one occasionally collects wood hazards.
