Boater Pass System
Recent wildfire activity destroyed the composting toilet and burned the campsites at Johnson Flat, mile 62.8 river left. Wildfire season continues. In the event of a wildfire on the river, please follow these guidelines:
- Follow all directions of emergency personnel staffing a fire
- Observe firefighters operations from a distance
- Avoid helicopters dipping buckets or other overhead flights
- Watch out for other boats and rafts that may be watching the fire and not you
- Pull-out on the opposite side of the river from a fire
All segments must have at least one named individual (group leader or named alternate) present in order for the boater pass to be valid. Limited entry dates for Segment 3 and 4 for 2010 are Friday, Saturday and Sunday beginning July 1st through September 15th and Segment 4 extends to October 15th. Group leaders and named alternates will be blocked from obtaining another limited entry pass in each segment until the first pass has been used. Segment 3 and 4 boaters are required to check-in at staffed launch point or self registration kiosk. Failure to check-in may result in denial to obtain passes in the future. Segment 3 check-in dates: May 15th through September 15th Segment 4 check-in dates: May 15th through October 15th.
Segment 1 is no longer in limited entry
