River Description
An instant classic prone to being chocked with strainers. Take the time to check for wood where possible before putting on. Otherwise enjoy the fast boogie water between great drops and be ready to jump out in a hurry if there is a strainer.
While there is no guage, locals will call the Remsen Country Bakery to get a visual. Be sure to thank them by buying something when you go. (315) 831-2559

So Cincinnati is a go. You want to put in at the top bridge right before the first drop, which is a clean 18/20 footer with a lil hole at the bottom and a lot of aerated water. Then you have some class 3+ boogie time, some strainers, some footbridges you have to either crawl under or get out around. Then you come to the first real class 4 drop, the lead*in goes under a bridge and ends with a 6/8 foot ledge with a tricky move, pool after so you can collect your shit. Then some more class 3 boogie. Hard to catch with levels but more water = more fun. Be Safe.
An American Whitewater member reported an access problem here in October 2000. The member
reported that a landowner strung barb wire across the river and built a very low footbridge that
makes the river impassable at higher levels. Both are reported as being very dangerous obstacles.
The creek comes up quick following hard rains and runs fairly often.

Rapid Descriptions
No rapids entered. If you know names, and locations of the rapids please contact and advise the StreamTeam member for this run. bridge. if u continue down be carefull...because after the drops when u go under the tunnel there
is a big log jam in the next bridge with double tubes...not kiddin if u go into this u will be in
serious trouble... its a really fast and channeled current here.. and the corner right before it
blocks ur vision...scout it to see if its still jammed
the Fish Creek Gauge are both closer to the Cincinatti drainage. It jumps up quickly, and drops
even quicker. Catch it hours after a hard day rain.
than that Fire Up the Brown.
live about 4 miles from it and think we should find some volunteers and get it cleaned up a little
bit, it would be really easy to do when water is low. and with a few people it wouldn't take long
at all
