follow the trail about .25 miles up the road from the top put in, hike about 2 miles, 30 min with
heavy boats, the trail breaks off to the right and your put ins about 10 feet from the largest drop
on the run, the rest of the dropes ledges slides and boulder gardens are barely class III, nothing
on here to challenge the top at normal levels, theres a fun boof river left about half a mile down
river from the put in . watch out for raccoons. Edit
Top and hiked a mile and a half upstream on river right. It had snowed the weekend before and we
followed the a deer trail through the woods. The hike in was as much of an adventure as the
run.
The run was a lot of fun and we found it to be well worth the effort. There were three boulder
garden rapids that reminded me of smaller versions of Suckhole, without the seive. The rest of the
rapids were smallish ledges and slides that would certainly be more fun in higher water.
While the whitewater was of a lesser difficulty than the Top Yough, it was still plenty of fun. It
also added several good rapids to what is already a fun run (on the Top Yough).

smalish shelves and slides. The first couple are the most interesting but they are only class IIIs.
The very fist rapid has a nasty hole in the center that is backed up by a submerged rock. The next
rapid has a nice boof move in the center. Overall I don't think this section is worth the long
paddle in but it is nice to get a few warmups in before Swallow Falls.
above the *few* and *small* rapids that exist on the Tip-Top. The ONLY rapids are in the 1/4 to 1/2
mile above Swallow Falls, and they DO NOT compare to the rapids on the Top Yough. I would recommend
skipping the Tip-Top Yough - or if you really must do it then carry up rather than slog through the
flatwater below Oakland.
