Where to Whitewater Kayak in Prince George

Willow River - This short but fun feature filled run is great when spring run of starts to slow down. At high water run of this section has a bundle of catch on the fly waves. This is a short run that can be lapped easily on the old logging road. At lower flows form small eddies behind boulders. Known to have large wood at times caught on boulders that create its features.

Great character to the whitewater. The McGregor Canyon is a beautiful section of whitewater located a decent way off of the beaten path. With easy access to the put in, and presumed easy access to a takeout, (located a few km of flatwater downstream of where the 2 groups *known* to have done the run took out) the McGregor is well worth doing. *quite possibly someone has done run it that I don't know about* Classic big water canyon style rapids, only 1 mandatory portage which is easy at river level, beautiful dark canyon walls, far enough out there to feel like a real adventure. This would make a great warm up run for anyone on their way north for some multi-days.
