In late fall of '06 Team Jib added 1/2 to 3/4 mile more whitewater on this creek. People have now been making runs down to the bridge. This was made possible by moving a rock away from the landing zone in Knucklehead and removing wood from the rapid after it, named Beyond Thunder Dome. Knucklehead and Beyond Thunder Dome are the largest two rapids of the lower section. There is one other rapid in the lower section that has proved to be tricky. That has been referred to as Lane Brain (aka Hamburger) It consists of a few ledges with the last ledge being just in front of a large boulder. Those going right of the boulder have had a higher success rate of a clean run than those going left. On down from this near the takeout is a nice section of ledges. If you are running Suck Creek low it is recommended that you use the Knucklehead takeout as the lower section starts to get boney at levels around the lower end of 4' on Tony's new gauge. Please be mindful when parking at the bridge. Please do not block the road or visibility of those utilizing the road. Try and leave as few cars at the bridge as possible because parking is limited.
