Long-term Schedule

Brookfield White Pine Hydro (BWPH) is proposing a series of additional non-commercial recreational boating flow releases at Harris Station to provide boating opportunities following several missed releases earlier this season. These releases will supplement the remaining scheduled boating flows and are intended to provide opportunities comparable to those that were missed.

Proposed additional releases are planned for:
-Monday, September 7 (Labor Day)
-Sunday, September 20
-Saturday, September 26
-Sunday, September 27
-Sunday, October 4
-Saturday, October 10

In developing these plans, BWPH sought to maximize the recreational value of the additional releases by concentrating them on weekends when participation is typically highest. These supplemental release dates were also selected to avoid overlap with scheduled Dead River releases so that paddlers would have access to distinct recreational opportunities rather than competing events occurring on the same day.
