Paint Creek

This is a great class 1-2 creek. Min is 150cfs. Excellent creek for this urban area.

Be careful running this. There are many man made cement like tubes in the channel. Apparently to help the trout get upstream.

Doug inspecting the bottom of the creek. Stu wondering what he is doing.

fun local creek when it is up. fun level is 3 ft on guage at put-in located on ludlow st upstream right side. 3 ft is @ 200-250cfs. put-in is upstream of city of rochester park at apartments back lot. rapids consist of [1]falls in park, {may require ducking thru walk bridges.}, [2] rochester road rapid, [3] beer hole,{site of rochester mills brewery} riverwide sidesurf wave, formed by former mill diversion. note: at higher flow 300 and higher, this is a keeper hole due to being under a bridge alot of hyraulics and entire creek is a boucey 2 mile ride lacking eddys. take outs are on clinton river after voodoo wave, 2nd street rail trail parking lot or yates cider mill. be on the lookout for wood. there is also a nice bike railtrail which follows the creek for scouting.
