Inflatables, canoes, paddleboards discouraged on Shuswap River due to unseasonable high water
“We do not recommend the use of human-powered vessels on the Shuswap River ,” the group said on its website.It also said to use extreme caution when near riverbanks, especially with children and weak swimmers.
“There is fast-moving murky water conditions with an increased amount of debris along with sweeper and log jams,” said the group. “Water temperatures are cold with unpredictable hazards.”Earlier this week, the City of Enderby said the river remains unseasonably high and fast, with debris flows and other unpredictable hazards, and to please use caution when on or near it.
The Shuswap River Ambassadors say their goal is to educate recreational river users about risks, hazards, safety, environment, planning and respecting the river. The group says the river is not open or closed at any point of the year, but usage is strongly discouraged during the high-water season .
