Euchre Creek

Flows:  Flows are correlated to a much larger stream and estimated from only one data point.  Thus the gauge is a loose estimate and correlation at best.  Make your own assessment of levels and research flow patterns in the area.  4,000 cfs and dropping on the Siletz gauge was acceptable to us (if low, we hit a lot of rocks) for our first time down, making scouting/portaging easy along the banks. We probably had about 200 cfs in Euchre Creek, so maybe 5% of the Siletz gauge.  While the three of us agreed more water would be better (we thought double the flow might be perfect for a boater seeking a non-manky, class V experience), that has not yet been verified.  At any level, this run should only be attempted by those willing to deal with uncertainty, and versed in making their own decisions.

Stream: With a roadside put in, and take out at a bridge, this short run can be a fun trip for an adventurous local.  After a short warm up the creek drops over a serious 3 part rapid that appeared to have a line, but can also be portaged on the right with a quick ferry move back across to river-left to portage the last pile of boulders.

Downstream is a fun ramp along the left bank and then a half mile of steep bouldery rapids in the IV-IV+ range.  This section is reminiscent of the Miracle Mile, with one island rapid that should be scouted while the rest can be boat scouted down to Euchre Falls by those who have that skill set.

After the open bouldery section the river consolidates, a 5' bedrock ledge signals the upcoming Euchre Falls, which can be scouted on the shuttle from a viewing platform a short distance upstream from the take out, look for the sign and short trail to the creek.  Euch
