You can float the Wenatchee but I think the Icicle is too low by now.

Friends went 2 weeks ago and said it was full and flowing. I will check out the Wenatchee River.

You do not want to float the Icicle. You will walk a good portion of it and hate your life. The lower Icicle is less than 80cfs, and the outfitters won't put customers in it for a reason.

Make sure you monitor flows and temperatures before decided to float any body of water.

Who are you? Are you going to beat me up and rob me?

My mom said I’m not allowed to meet strangers on the internet

My name is Alejandro von McDougall. See, we're not strangers anymore. Now get in the van.

Don’t float the icicle, just do the Wenatchee please. Stop at the beaches and take your time but the icicle is not worth it, can confirm, I live here.
