Khtada River
















Class 5
An all day mission, From Terrace take Highway 16 towards Prince Rupert following the Skeena River for about an hour. Khtada flows into the Skeena via an inlet on the opposite side. This requires a big ferry across the Skeena which is around 1km wide at this spot, the paddle across took us around half an hour. Look for the Power lines that cross the Skeena and just a few kms upstream you will see the inlet, you can see a small bit of white which is the last drop. Paddle into the inlet and find the track on River right, the hike in took us around two hours with a few rests, the bugs are crazy over there, be prepared!!!
Put in at the bottom of the Davis lake, paddle right for a few hundred meters to find the first huge slide and away you go....
