River DescriptionEd Evangelidi testifies:This creek is rarely run for a long distance due to the pain of numerous dangerous low water bridges, many of which are found around blind turns. Most paddlers concentrate on sections that contain “interesting” rapids. The upper reach has a sloping rapid of at least 6’ that funnels into a mean looking hydraulic. The middle section has long stretches of nice rapids and above Columbia Pike is an interesting set of rocky slalom routes that are fortunately well between two low water bridges. Below Columbia Pike the creek is fairly channelized between flood walls but still throws up occasional rapids. The creek is extremely flashy and rarely stays up for as long as an hour. The stream has a junkyard quality to it with every type of debris lying about but it once had a fancy swim club in the 1800’s that used a dammed up pool (remnants still visible) in Glen Carlyn Park.
