Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportMaybe 3/4 way through the run, tree down across river completely blocking travel.
7/14/13 lower Green River- on the left channel heading downstream at Little Corky near the end, there is a downed tree trunk across most of the river with only about 10 feet open near the far bank at river left to sneak by. Better to go down the channel on the right of the island there. It's been there about a week so far it seems.
7/14/13 on lower Green River just off bank of launch site at Fishtop, looking upstream towards the 'Narrows'. Rainy, high flow with dam releasing at 200%.
7/14/13 on lower Green River, high flow rainy with 200% dam release looking upstream at center island at Little Corky, both left and right channel ends visible.
2007- 08-12...paddled the river the day after the area had recieved 10' (according to the tube rental) of rain the night before. It was big for this section, it was my second time on this river but my first in a whitewater kayak! Although my adrenaline was pummping I felt very comfortable and had a lot of fun...excellent training grounds or waters!
Parker, Kristie, & Jay Cross on Parker's first river, age 4 years old.
Parker Cross is 4 years old and paddled his Fun1. This was his first river to paddle
Gwen boofs the rock at Big Corky (flow 100%+)
This is a nice wave to ride above the bridge
This is a nice run for beginners with a bit of a challenge. Very little flat water and quite a few class twos plus a few class 2 + at decent flow.
This one is 300 yards below the 2nd bridge. Take out here (There is roadside parking) or paddle another mile of flatwater to Big Rock Access.
Comment to Foster's description. At Little Corkys you have two islands and three routes. The far left is unrunable, the middle has a narrow channel but gets you to the biggest waves, the far right is safe and less exciting.
Those are nice pictures of the narrows but id like to see some pictures of the actual reach.

6 of us paddled today and had too much fun. First white water for all of us and it was a great beginner river. 2.5 hours of small rapids with just enough time in between to laugh about approaches and rocks that attacked us. Parking lots for putin and takeout were nice. We went early and missed all of the tubers that do the middle section. Rope swing half way down was also cool.
Here are the main rapids on this river:
Jacobs Ladder- a long s-turn like rapid but not much of a challenge
Big Corky- Very straight forward. Approach it from the right and stay right all the way down. Only thing to avoid is the big rock in the middle at the very bottom of the rapid. Eddy out river left at the bottom (after the rock). There is a beach at the bottom left that has 'no trespassing' signs- the owner of this property is very grumpy.
A good surf spot we just call Surfers Rapid- basically just a riverwide ledge with a nice hole at the bottom.
Little Corky- This is the last rapid, right below Surfer's and just above the takeout. Run the right side of the island. Stay in the middle of the channel. Ends in a short, broken ledge.
