Hangman Creek’s high, rafters ready to roll

RIVERS — The river running season is officially underway on Hangman (Latah) Creek, and it could be over in another day or two.

Unlike most rivers that require spring runoff to get the juices flowing, Hangman is notorious for brief spurts of high flows generated by rain-on-snow events like we had this weekend.

Expect to see experienced river runners equipped for being on the cold, off-color water testing their river skills on Wednesday.
