Yough. Cool thing to do if you are stoppin by on a higher Top Yough run. Not really worth much
above the top of Muddy Creek Falls. Pretty benine class II maybe III creekin bougy. The lower
slides are a little class five action though; because of a few nasty undercuts and seives with all
its good gradient down to the Yough. Drops about 50 feet from the base of the falls to the Yough in
about 60 yards.
