John Day, N. Fork

We did a 3 day from Dale to Monument late In late March. Flows were about 2600@Monument. Tollgate to Monument ( Takeout is a park on river right about .25 miles below hwy bridge). In the future I’d do Camas creek into the NF, or possibly Middle Fork into NF. Camas Creek looked like a FuN 8-9 miles of steep class 3+ creeky action. Camped at ‘50mile’ on the left, and ‘27mile’ on the left. Nice, flat camps with hikes. Hiked Wall creek, middle fork confluence, and Mallory creek. Would hike maybe Potamus creek, and Johnny cake Mountain with more time. I’d suggest camping above Wall creek on last night, as a ‘busier’ road come into Wall Creek. Lots of down and dead wood for burning. Dirt road on river right for most of the trip. ‘Oregon River Tours’ by John Garren is a phenomenal resource.
