River Description

This is a micro creek that runs through the Lost Valley Campground. The creek is fast class II from 0.6 miles above the campground to the Buffalo River.

Above the class II section are several class III-V drops. The main objective is the the Natural Bridge (Cave) that the creek flows through 0.6 miles above the campground.

Park and hike up the trail to the cave. There are a couple nice drops above the cave, but will take a lot of water to make the entrance drop go. Slide in at the top of the cave, split the two rocks, and turn hard right into boat wide slot. The slot drops a couple feet onto a 20-ft long slide which will spit you out for an auto-boof over the 8-foot ledge at the mouth. Carry up the trail for multiple runs.

Quick class II+ paddle back down to the campground.
