Back Creek Gorge 900 cfs - Philip Young

Jun 6, 2026

900 is a great flow, must have been maintenance at the pumped storage project since the Jackson was around 200. No problem gaining permission. No portages. Lots of great surfing waves. Reminded me of the Nantahala a little bit in terms of volume and continuousness. Took about 2 hours for the lower 4.5 miles.
