River Description
This is the delightful, upper, Little Gunpowder trip. The first half is an almost continuous rock garden, starting out class I-II. The second half is tamer - Class I. The surrounding woodlands are full of deer and quite pretty. This is the tamer upstream section of this little creek.
Ed Evangelidi testifies:
This creek is quite flashy, so don't dawdle, or it might come down on you while you are running shuttle.
