White Oak Creek

There's a long, hellish, murky, dead flatwater stretch at the beginning that seems to last forever. Down toward the confluence with the Clear Fork--sometimes called the Meeting of the Waters--there's a beautiful gorge section where sandstone cliffs come all the way down to the water. The scenery alone makes it well worth doing.

I've only run this once, at about 1,000 cfs on the Clear Fork near Robbins gauge. At that level, I would rate the long slide rapid at the beginning of the gorge section class III. It's a very substantial drop, and the section that follows is extremely consticted. I would think that very high water levels could push this area up to class IV and perhaps beyond.
