Briscoe Rd to Big Pine Creek (2.1 miles) I-II(III)
River DescriptionThis is a tributary to the more popular Big Pine Creek, coming in just below the initial 'park-and-play' ledge section of that run. It stands to reason that the Mud Pine must drop across similar geology and gradient, thus provide some entertainment as well.I do not have first-hand knowledge of the run, but my recollection of the sketchy information I have received is that this river is a little less straight, and the rapids are a bit more succinct, as opposed to the Big Pine where the initial gradient tends to play out more as one long rapids (with individual playwaves and holes). This run is fairly short, and would mostly be done as a 'companion piece' to a run on the Big Pine. Additionally, the run (as listed here) is just to the confluence with the Big Pine. It will probably be necessary (or at least, most convenient) to float an additional 0.7 miles (downstream of the confluence to the next road bridge) for take-out. Or, continue the rest of the way down to the end of the (full) Big Pine run. (Anyone having more specific information regarding this run is encouraged to "add a comment" via the button which appears on the page under the "Comment" tab.) StreamTeam Status: unverified
