Big Fiery Gizzard Creek

I paddled this run at a reletivly medium flow on nov 24th 2004 with a local fire fighter from mcminnville and Had a great time the run is great for people just learning to creek with an 8 foot drop that is great to learn to boof off of and for the more advanced paddler it is also fun to freewheel off of. you can also paddle behind this falls and paddle through the curtin. It is very easy to run this drop multipul times because of the hiking trail that follows the river. I thought that was as good as it was going to get until i came up to the monkey. This is your clasic south east drop maybe 15'vertical in about 4' it looks alot like Gorrila on the green. There is a huge undercut on river left that looks bad when being scouted from river left but if you climb across the log above the drop and look at it from where you would set safty for the drop you realize that th roof is quite high maybe 3' still not a great place to be but not near as bad as it looks from river left.
