Devils Postpile Nat'l Monument to Mammoth Pool ReservoirClass V+
32.5 Miles
River DescriptionThe Middle Fork of the San Joaquin is now getting boated by one or two groups a year in most years. With realtime flow information now available from the Scripps Institute gauge at Devil's Postpile, it seems likely that even more groups will paddle through this incredible canyon.More and more of the drops are being run, but many portages are still necessary. The famous Crucible section is often paddled now, so that big portage has been eliminated by some groups. Put-in elevation: 7,545 feet (2300 meters) Take-out elevation: 3,330 feet (1,015 meters)+- (varies with elevation of Mammoth Pool) TopozoneMap-Devil's Postpile TopozoneMap-Balloon Dome TopozoneMap-Mammoth Pool reservoir Google Earth has excellent hi resolution aerial images of much of this section.
