Logjam Danger at Sandy Pool Park | Canada News

A massive, deadly logjam has formed on the river near Sandy Pool Park, turning a popular tubing spot into a serious hazard. What started as a few fallen trees last winter has grown into a dangerous obstruction that could trap or pull in unsuspecting tubers. Search and rescue teams discovered its full scale during training — and while no direct rescues have happened yet, fatalities have occurred. Officials are warning everyone to stay out of the water there, especially past Little Beach. Campground staff are being briefed, and the B.C. Parks website now explicitly advises against tubing. Safety measures include mandatory life jackets, swimming ability checks, and strict bans on drinking while tubing — likened to drunk driving. The recommended route is safe, visible, and staffed with help. Stay alert — nature’s hazards are real, and this one’s not playing around.
