River Description
This is a short but sweet creek run runnable when Crane Pond Creek is running. You can easily scout the meat of the run. There is a low dam that can be boofed on the left. A little further downstream is the steepest drop which is split into two channels. The left channel is a rock jumble sieve that injured early paddlers. The right channel is a single drop but be aware of the rock at the base. For a clean line aim for the large undercut rock immediately downstream and the current takes you to the right of the rock.
