Paddling times vary widely depending on river levels and flow.




This is also an easy trip. This is the view from the Rapid City Dam, where one would launch. In low water such as this you will have to walk downstream a bit.

Fast water in the spring will requite caution as obstruction such as drifting trees may appear.

The last stretch takes you along the lake be sure to avoid coming too close to the dam near Rivers.
