Columbia River Flooding is Coming

[zabooda]

We're experiencing the worst flooding in years brought on from a huge snowpack in Canada so be ready downstream.

Can confirm, I was out on lake Windermere, (which feeds from the head waters of the Columbia river), and I've never seen it this high or this warm so early in the season. Here's hoping we get more rain and less forest fires in July!

Yup , same here, the Kettle river feeds into the columbia in wasting ton state, but right now it is back feeding Christina Lake because the river is so full. Right now we are on evacuation order and no boats are allowed on the lake for a while.

we hit flood stage midweek (so of course I went wakeboarding and surfing). Here's my pics that I posted in the picture thread:


Here's our launch ramp now that the Columbia River has hit flood stage. We're still riding though!

Close up on the downsteam dock... NO Parking! That dock is obviously unusable for boarding passengers, and the upstream side of the dock is covered with floating driftwood.

This is another of our local docks. The gangplank down to the water is usually at a 20 to 30 degree slope, and it's almost flat now.
