River Description

Steep (ie West Prong style) boulder creekin complete with stomping holes some bedrock thrown in here and there just for fun. Very well worth the near 3 mile hike to the put in and very well worth the portages (MANDATORY) too. The creek is still full of wood from the last couple of years flooding. If it can be caught clean, it is one wicked ride.

IF you find this stream with adequate water, you can hike in with a bowsaw/folding saw and have one bang up day. Just be sure to allow plenty of time for the trip and potential portages.

This run is a step up from Little Stony and is on par with the difficulty of S. Fork Powell.
