Indian Pool to Huntington Lake (Sierra Summit run)Class II-IV(V)
2.25 Miles
Avg Gradient 165 fpm
River DescriptionThis creek is low gradient through the ski resort, so boaters looking for a short class 2 roadside run can launch from the back parking lot and take out at the overflow parking lot to the west of highway 168. This distance from the back end of the dorms to the lower parking lot is about 3/4 of a mile. The creek drops from about 7056 feet to 7013 feet.Class 5 boaters will have fun if they continue down to Huntington Lake. There are a number of very big drops between the parking lot and the lake. Scouting is easy and necessary. In the past, one of the drops had a nasty siphon in it. The distance from the lower parking lot to the lake is about 1/4 mile, and the total drop is about 59 feet in that distance. From Sierra Summit upstream, the creek is rocky and gradually steeper as it approaches Indian Pool. Logs, bushes and strainers may be a problem in any year. Scout carefully. Hike upstream on a good trail as far as you feel like going and launch wherever it looks good to you. The creek probably gets the most use from workers at the Sierra Summit ski resort who also kayak in the off season. Put in elevation is around 7330 feet. Lake elevation is about 6954 feet StreamTeam Status: unverified
