Deadfall Barriers - Klusha Creek

Braeburn to Carmacks Expedition via Waterways

Section Four: Klusha Creek & Nordenskiold River. Twin Lakes to Flower Mountain Take-out.

I couldn't find any information of previous attempts to paddle this river system and I doubt many have, as the water level is quite low. This means dragging the boat behind for long stretches, climbing over numerous log jams and beaver dams, and diving under overhanging brush and sweepers. There were some really bad obstructions between Twin Lakes and the confluence of Kirkland Creek. The Nordenskiold enters almost unnoticable from the left bringing brown silty water to the clear Klusha. After Kirkland Creek the river [Nordenskiold] turns to a nice woodland river with almost non obstructions and the water quality improves.
