Boulder Creek

We paddled the run June 30, 2020 at 3.6' on the put in gage (Yaak was at about 730 cfs). The in between drops were low, and if that was all there was we would have called the run too low. However, wherever the creek channelized it was clean and the bedrock/named rapids were at a quality flow. There was wood in the pool above Magnolia, two from the group were able to climb onto the logs after being lowered into the pool in their boats and launch off them and ran the drop. The other two did throw and goes after portaging billy-goat style high on the left down to an obvious ledge 20-30' above the creek.

We boated this when the Yaak was at about 2,600. In between drops were fun, but the highlight bigger drops looked very intimidating. Also the ferry below Magnolia gets hairy. We opted for a longer portage instead of the ferry. IMO, this is a run best done with someone who's done it before and knows the logistics...don't miss the portage eddy. It's comes on a right turn only a couple minutes after leaving Grunge Poser.

No one in our group wanted a piece of this on that day
