River Description

South Sauty is pretty hard to beat, good continous action top to bottom. Plenty of steady class 3 and 4 action ending with your car in view and a hot shower just steps from the take out.

Buck Pocket State Park is a great takeout. Please show your appreciation for this state park and donate a dollar or two for using the facilities. They use the money to help maintain the restrooms and keep the place up. Oh, by the way, if you need a shuttle, ask Bruce what you can do!

All rapids are runnable.
The waterfall (not yet named) at the put in can be run, usually on the right side.
