River Description

Andy Messer provides (2004-06-11):

Buck Creek is one of the most scenic canoeing streams around. The difficulty level throughout is class I with maybe one or two rapids hovering close to class II. The best scenery is from highway 80 down.It is pretty much all moving water, so it's very easy without being dead flat.

Put in on Rainer Rd is nice. You can break the trip in half taking out at RT 1003 bridge or put in there and paddle the rest of the creek.
