BRV Resumes Organizing River Trips For 2021

We expect many of our members will be vaccinated by late April, but even if you are you can still transmit the deadly virus. So let’s all be vigilant, careful, and avoid close contact on the river and when running shuttles.   [Please Read More]

Notice and Assumption of Risk:
Whitewater paddling is a risky outdoor sport. BRV is not responsible for any individual’s decision to participate in a trip, or for his or her decision to run any river or section of a river.

The list of scheduled trips below remains a work in progress and reflects mostly weekend trips. Other trips are ad hoc and announced via the BRV email list.

For more about BRV's excursions, please see the club's trip guidelines.
