USGS Gage Station to Boulder Creek(Upper Scott River Canyon)
Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportThis is a really fun run that is almost completely overlooked by boaters. We had a good flow within the lower half of the medium flow range: ample water, few rocks in the rapids, fun waves, but also not too pushy.
Perhaps part of the reason this run is overlooked is that there is no official put-in and all the land in the top of the upper canyon is private. The best solution is to put in at the USGS gage that is located on private timber company land but which serves a public function.
This run has a ton of rapids, fun moves, some play features, and some really good views of snow-covered peaks and forested canyon.
After our annual board meeting the American Whitewater staff and board got out for a Sunday afternoon on the river together.
