I've done it in segments, but don't think it can be done now. Jordan Narrows from the diversion dam down to 14400 South is unnaturally rocky - doable if you don't mind trashing your hull bottom. I had friends who skirted the worst of it in the East irrigation ditch - but that's not legal. There are a few irrigation dams to portage around between there and 2100 South, but that's where problems begin again. You can take the river channel itself down to I-215 but you run into such a labyrinth of private canals, etc. thereafter that it's about impossible to make it to the lake - especially at today's water levels. The other route is to continue on the diversion canal to I-80, through the airport then straight West to the Lake. However, since 9/11 airport security patrols part of that constantly and arrests on the spot. Its all private beyond that and since its not a natural waterway, its hard to justify access.
