Clear Fork

We ran the upper portion on the same day the teenagers and other guy went I believe. We saw them at Peter's Ford where we took out. We were there on Sat. April 11th though.We also were planning to run Brewster to Burnt Mill but figured the upper section would be calmer since it's only rated Class 1-2. Boy was we wrong! The section we ran (Gatewood to Peters) at 2400cfs now had several class 3 (3+) which some were really technical trying to guide our tandem inflatable kayak through. We also encountered 2 river wide strainers which had to be portaged on river right. They were in places where the current was very strong. I would highly recommend scouting anywhere you see whitewater and can't see around the bend! I'm sure this would be a beautiful run at lower flows, however, we didn't have time for scenery; we were too busy preparing for the next rapid. I believe this run is approximately 6 miles from Gatewood to Peters Bridge. We'll probably try again at MUCH lower flows.
