re: OT: Any nice paddling immediately around Jasper?

swoopin also be advised if you go from hwy 78 to Cordova that River RD, right there where the hwy 78 launch is, would appear by map to be the most direct route. the bridge right before entering downtown Cordova is out so you have to take Horse Creek Blvd further up hwy 78 at Dora. that might save you 45 minutes because I dont think there was a sign up last time I went through there until you got to the bridge.
