Trip Feature: Box Canyon, Illecillewaet River, Revelstoke 🌲🏞️

An after work local favorite, this beautiful narrow canyon finishes downtown Revelstoke. This run goes through major transformations as flows fluctuate throughout the season. At low flows it is pool drop with a creeky III-IV feel. At higher flows it transforms into pushy class V big water.

Unfortunately, a glacial flood from Woolsey Creek upstream deposited copious amounts of wood along the river several years back and created a massive log jam immediately below the biggest rapid on the run (KOA). At certain flows this log jam poses a serious hazard with water moving fast from the rapids upstream into and under the 100m long pile of logs. Portage is mandatory on river right.

The narrow nature of the canyon above KOA is also prone to collecting wood. Use extra caution or ideally check with the locals on the current wood situation before dropping in.
