If there is not enough interest after five years, the releases can be canceled. Please sign in on the attendance sheet at the put-in, so that an accurate count of the number of paddlers is obtained. A particular release can be cancelled if the flow into Lake Arbutus is below a certain level. The Black has good whitewater with flows between 700 cfs and 3000 cfs. Helmet, approved life jacket, throw rope and boat flotation bags are required.
All paddlers are to follow the buddy system.
Each paddler is responsible for their own safety. All paddlers will be required to sign an ACA waiver form and local waiver form before using the course. Stay off all structures including railroad bridges and catwalks. Do not enter any other areas of the mill. This is an operating mill and there will be large trucks driving through the mill.
