For #ThrowBackThursday we’re reminiscing of times when the flows were good and the sun was shining on Icicle Creek just outside Leavenworth, WA. This stretch of class 3-5+ whitewater offers some of the best kayaking in all of Washington State and those interested in running swift, consistent, and droppy routes have been visiting these waters for years. Follow along with Daniel Patrinellis and his friends as they run Icicle Creek back in early May of 2012.

With the spring rains falling and warmer temps on the way, water levels are rising in the Wenatchee River and Icicle Creek. Now is a great time to get out an enjoy the area rivers.
