This creek has been dealt with as a sleeping lion. It might be rated a Class II-III stream, but it definately has the potential to jump a notch higher at the 'standard flow'. The BCCKC Team has ran this at different levels...at 2' on the marked bridge gauge, it's somewhat scrapy and more technical. At 8' it seems to be just right for learning to creek and reading drops. Nothing too high of a drop (6-7' high), most of them in the 3-4' range. One of the better creeks to practice on.....if you can catch it on the rise (it seems to be a natural flow). Enjoy this hidden treasure, and respect is needed, with safety in mind.....hope you like the pics....
