Paddlers
With the Canyon Creek Race struggling to draw a good attendance over the past couple of years we have decided to reorganize the race. In doing this we also wanted to try to secure a date that would have more conducive water levels. After meeting with some other key community members we decided to move it to an earlier date in order to gain more community support and increase local attendance. One of the original intentions of the Canyon Creek Race was to try to raise awareness of the non-boating community to Canyon Creek's spectacular recreational opportunities, intern organizers were hoping to raise conservation awareness keeping Canyon Creek free of hydro power projects and have a fun local event. In the spirit of this, the community has decided to try to bring these ideas back! As organizers of the
Northwest Creek Comp. we are hoping to make the new race a conservation oriented grass roots event for our local NW community! The new race will be a little longer, have a few more classes including an IK and R2 class, and focus on providing a race that will crown the fastest down river racer in the NW! After much thought we decided April 12th would be good! There will be an after party at Mike Olson's house on the East Fork Lewis.

under construction and for know has minimal info. For more specific info, sponsorship opportunities, or volunteer opportunities email me @ eddyhopperluke@gmail.com
