Cameron Creek, Waterton National Park, Alberta, Canada

While at a paddle festival in the small town of Pincher Creek in Alberta Canada a crew of paddlers went in to run the full length of Cameron Creek. The Team consisted of Elliot Dale, Mark Basso and Shon Cottrill.

Cameron Creek flows down a steep gorge high up in Waterton National Park. It doesnt see to many descents from top to bottom. Most paddlers start high up at aldridge falls and end just bellow a double drop above another gorge. This run is a small class 5 taste of what lies down stream in the lower gorge.

The reason the lower gorge is not run is mainly because of a must run class 5 waterfall into a room of doom. This waterfall is almost impossible to set safety for and requires every paddler to style it cleanly. After this there is a log jam which must be live baited because of the box canyon.

From here there is about a dozen hairy class 5 drops to the take out frop called Razor Romone. This is a tight drop with a razor sharp rock fin that parallels the line. It also supports a wicked horse shoe hole at the bottom.
