Class I-II

Gauge Information

River Description

Bouncy wavetrains populate this small run.

Pairs nicely with Soldiers Creek, which flows into the Des Moines River just downstream of the mouth of Lizard Creek.

Put in at any one of the bridges upstream and take out at the confluence with the Des Moines River.

The USACE link (in the 'Gauge' tab) contains a link for an excellent map of the general area.

Multiple possible put-ins/take-outs, therefore Lat/Lng listed are relatively meaningless, existing solely for general target location.
