Tie Creek to Crouch - Middle Fork of the Payette

This float is beautiful, scenic, and pretty easy for the most part.

We'll meet at Winco in Eagle at 10 AM.

The Middle Fork is running a little high right now so if you sign up be sure you feel confident in your ability to maneuver.
The float requires hard-shell kayaks and canoes and double-layered inflatable kayaks. The run is about 8 miles, and we will stop for lunch.

Advanced beginners and skilled paddlers will have fun.
The weather channel claims it will be 77° in Eagle and 74° in Crouch.

Must have: invasive species sticker, personal floatation device (PFD), whistle, water & lunch.

We will drive to Crouch and meet up again at Weilmunster Park, close to the take-out, and arrange vehicle shuttles to the put-in.
