Trip Report

I find it hard to believe that there are only three posts about this creek and the last one was 3 years ago. This is an absolute gem of a white water stream. The first half had several downed trees that needed portaged. Yes, it was a pain in the ass but the beauty of the area made up for it. Still no Class III's but you still need to pay attention. Once you hit the splash dam it's balls to the wall. This is NOT a beginners creek. You need the right experience and equipment. It's 4 miles of Class III+. You will be exhausted and exhilarated when you reach the end. After the Dam there are two places on left turns with a log on the right. The first one wrecked my partner (I portaged around when I saw his wreckage), the second one we made it through but you need to paddle hard left like your life depends on it. We hit 15mph through that chute (GPS Calculations) and that tree could have been deadly. There's a small rock garden just beyond that would pulverize you. Do not be complacent after the dam. Do not take beginners. However, this is a fun frickin' creek!! We hit it at just the right level.
