Kayakers are welcome to kayak Fitzsimmons Creek. In addition to the freshet period between late May to early August, Fitzsimmons Creek Hydro Limited Partnership will provide flow releases for two weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) annually, for a total of 4 days. The flow releases will occur from 0900 to 1800 hours each day. The amount of flow released will depend on water availability and will be coordinated between the Operator and the kayakers in advance of the weekend.
The Operator will accept no liability for injury to kayakers or for loss of equipment due to kayaking in the bypass reach (between the intake and the powerhouse).
Warning signs have been posted upstream of the intake and near the powerhouse and an audible alarm system is installed at the intake and at the powerhouse to warn recreational kayakers in the bypass reach of sudden changes in flow.
Average, minimum and maximum (m³/s) flows for Fitzsimmons Creek are listed in the table below. Actual creek flow will be verified by the Operator for the time of the booking.
