River DescriptionThis basically Class-III run. The only rapid/section that I can think of that might be considered IV is after you pass a lumber yard the creek picks up speed, it goes over a drop of a few feet, then it becomes a fast narrow flume. You'll see this when you are driving up to the take-out. You can scout most of this creek from the road. The other thing of note is I scouted it at high water. Had I had someone to paddle with that day I would have used markers upstream of a every strainer, although at the time there was only two, perhaps three. The reason I would have done this is because this was moving really fast and the eddies were few and micro. At this level it trumped a III. This is really a creek, not a river. It's not very wide at all until you get to the confluence with the Beer Kill, Main Branch. BTW, for good food stop at wilsons Deli. It's located on canal, I guess about 1/4 of a mile up from route 209, before you get to Greenfield.

When the
Rondout at Rosendaleis at least 11.5, this might be running. It seems you want to get there the same day as the rain. Usaully by the next day it's too low unless it was a lot of rain. It's more likely to come up to an acceptable level than the
Sandburgand seems to hold water better. On another note, I've been told it doesn't come up has well or stay up as long as the Main Branch.
