Deckers Weekend Outlook

Good morning Friends,

It’s a sunny morning in Deckers, for now. With a weekend of mixed weather, you’ll want to get up here early and be prepared for afternoon thunderstorms. Remember, these storms are typically accompanied by severe lightning and hail. With it getting towards the end of the season and kids going back to school, I’m expecting a pretty busy weekend. Check out the links below for more information on your favorite activity here in Deckers.

Tubing

With the flow at 249cfs, its pretty decent for floating. You still may have to deal with some shallower sections, mostly in the areas upriver from the Trumbull Bridge. Click here for more information.https://discoverdeckers.com/tubing-paddle-boarding-kayaking/

Camping

Big changes along the river! Ok, here’s the deal. For the last four or five years, the Osprey and Ouzel campgrounds were allowing campers and RV’s to set up in those campgrounds. Problem is, or shall we say “was” is that the Forest Service had designated those campgrounds as Tent Only use. Although this was allowed by the former company that was managing the campgrounds on behalf of the Forest Service, they have instructed the new company, ExplorUs, to enforce the “Tent Only” rule, at these campgrounds. This means that you can no longer bring a pull behind camper, rv, or camp in the car/van, in the parking lots.
