Fall Creek

Everything was high today so we tried to go check out the waterfall about 8 miles up from bedrock campground but were turned around by a road closure and workers cleaning up after the 2021 Gale fire. The road is closed about 5 miles above Bedrock campground. The river was running high, just over 3000cfs inflow on the USACE fall creek reservoir gauge.

There was at least one portage, visible from the road, above Fish Ramp a ways, and possibly another below fish ramp. Everything else we saw looked clean.

Roughly 8 miles upstream of the Put-in at Bedrock Campground, there is a roadside drop about 8-10 feet in height. It requires the run below to be on the high end to be in, but offers a clean lip, a sloping bedrock landing and a moving pool run-out. It is very lapable and has a fire ring. Look for it on the left hand side of the road about 8 miles up from Bedrock. As of 11/5/2022 access is restricted due to the Gale fire cleanup from 2022. The road is closed about 5 miles up from bedrock and there is a lot of activity from forest workers. It is unclear if the falls and surrounding forest was impacted by the fire, but it's likely.
