Rattlesnake Creek

The reason for putting in at Duncan Drive (and not above) is a river-wide hazardous dam structure that usually acts as a strainer. Water flows under the dam, through a metal grate, usually clogged with logs. You could easily lose a paddler to this structure. The section between Sawmill Gulch Road Bridge and Duncan Drive is not recommended. If you want to link, exit left above the first concrete structure encountered and portage the 1/4 mile to put in below the dam.
