Location description
This is a popular spot for paddlers to begin a 3 hour paddle back into Saskatoon, SK. The water depth can vary considerable, depending on the flow released by the Gardiner Dam. It is a sandy spot located between Poplar Bluffs and Cranberry Flats, just north west of Wilson Island which is in the middle of the river at this location. The water flows on both sides of Wilson Island.
