Dungeness

Completed the upper combined with the lower June 7, 2008. Would say flows were medium lowish. FR 2860 is no longer signed, so once joining up with FR 2870 continue until the next major intersection. Make a left and head down hill (this is 2860). There will be a parking area with a gate. The Gold Creek bridge is approximately 0.25 mile hike down from the gate. The upper contains a large amount of wood requiring many scouts/portages in the first 2 miles. The rapids are high quality class 3+ creeking when runnable and the scenery is incredible. Very primal environment with soaring trees everywhere. Mouse Trap (class 4) is unrunnable due to a large amount wood lodged at its base. This is visible from the takeout. If you go, plan on a long day. Not recommended for large groups or high water in its current state.
