I took a long lunch the first week of May and did a quick run up the North Saskatchewan, from the Quesnel Bridge to the Fort Edmonton footbridge and back.
There was still a bit of ice on the edges in the shade but otherwise the river was fine and running at summer levels. No sign of higher water from the spring melt yet.
It was a very hot day (+30) and the you could just smell the wildfires to the west of town.
There wasn't much or wildlife. A couple ducks, a muskrat and a fish jumping were all there around.
Overall, a nice paddle for early spring. If I get time, I'll see what Emily Murphy launch looks like.
