River Description

This is a really fun creek, but the water level has to be good; at lower levels, it's like class 3 and one class 4 slide. At high levels, it's a whole new monster.

Has anybody actually paddled this? Someone must have just looked at a map n saw some rapids to put this on here.

I paddled something like 3 to 5 miles across Woodhull Lake in flat water boats and saw the earthen dam that marks the start of the river. From what I can guess is that Pack Rafts may be the appropriate vessel at high levels.

If anyone has feedback please share.

I took complete beginners down from Horton Rd to the start of the Miracle Mile section. It’s good for beginners.

Does anybody know about how to get to the put-in? There doesn't appear to be a road less than 5 miles near it.
