River Description

Posted 3/31/03 by Jon on NPMB

Cooksburg down to Oak Hill is continuous class 2-3 surfing waves with no real holes to worry about. Makes a nice warm up for continuing from Oak Hill down to the takeout in East Durham. That lower section is slightly bigger (3-4) with incredible surfing. There is always an easy route down if you don't want to run the meat of things.

This is pretty much the minimum level. 5.1 ft at Prattsville on Schoharie Creek. There are other gauges used for this run.

You might want to take a look at this ledge before running it. Sneak is on far river right.
