River Description
This is a fun pretty much continuous class 2 run, with a couple 3's thrown in. There is a lot of
wood to watch for, but is all avoidable. Just watch every bend, it really picks up speed in the
turns and thats where the wood is. One bridge has a river wide strainer. You'll see it coming, it
will be the highest bridge you will come to up to that point. Get out and portage on river right.
The left isn't fun. (I learned the hard way). There are no gauges nearby. Chances are if the
Catskill Creek is running then this creek is also - Bill S

There is a lot of would on this creek. Pretty much on every bend, like here.
For a creek that follows a road it is pretty scenic in spots.
The line is right along the river left bank. Watch for the wood and root balls. There are plenty.
